The brief

The principal aim of this piece of research will be to provide evidence in relation to the impacts of UK space science funding within the UK space industry.

More specifically; - What impacts have occurred to UK organisations who have won ESA space science contracts? - To what extent has UK space science funding contributed to wider growth of the UK Space sector and how?

To answer these questions this research project will need information from UK space sector organisations who have received past and near-complete ESA contracts to develop the necessary spacecraft platforms, support mission operations and develop major subsystems and subassemblies, to underpin ESA missions.

This research will need to explore the specific activities these organisations have undertaken, and subsequent outcomes and impacts.

It will be necessary to corroborate these positions through evidence-based metrics and any relevant wider information.
