UK Space – What about Propulsion?

 UK 3rd nation in space

 Ariel 1 in 1962

 UK satellite Prospero

launched on Black Arrow in 1971

 UK chose to exit launch

and manned spaceflight activities

 concentrate on

commercial/operational space & science

UK Space Propulsion - Innovation

Commercial Space Launch

 Low cost access to space key

element of industrial strategy

 Innovative commercial market  sub-orbital passenger & science

flights

Space to Grow

Lesson’s Learnt

30

 Never forget that it is all about companies making money!  Greater team are ambassadors for the growth of the

cluster, treat everyone as apostles

 Level of communication is required is more than you will

anticipate, need resources available

 Plans need to be flexible enough to change within a

rapidly changing commercial Environment

Summary

31

 UK Space Sector is thriving and growing  Harwell Campus provides routes to market  You need to be there!
