5. Space Innovation and Growth Strategy Project – Background
2009, set up by Minister for Science & Innovation to identify a plan for the future,
chaired by Andy Green, CEO of Logica
9 months of intensive work by over 200 members of Industry, Government and
Academia working in five themes:
Markets and Wealth Creation
Capabilities Technologies and Facilities
Delivering public policy
Raising awareness
Finance and procurement
The IGS report was published in February 2010 giving 16 recommendations,
Government response published in March 2010
Majority of IGS points adopted by new Government with significant personal
support being given to the sector from Secretary of State David Willetts, Science
Minister.
6. Space Innovation & Growth Strategy - Major Findings
The UK should plan to increase its current 6% market share of the world space
market to 10% by 2030
This will increase revenues from £5.9 billion to £40 billion over this period
This will create 100,000 jobs
Major growth areas will come from:
Broadband by satellite
TV broadcast from space
Earth Observation from space
Location and timing based services
Low cost entry to space
A majority of this growth will be in export for which we must be among the first to
market.
7. Space Innovation & Growth Strategy - Recommendation 3
The UK Government and industry should establish a National Space
Technology Strategy (NSTS), with a clearly identifiable budget separate and
additional to ESA and research council budgets
This recommendation is a key building block in delivering the ambitious
innovation and growth planned and should be established quickly and funded
properly
A National Space Technology Steering Group should be set up
immediately to oversee the NSTSG, chaired by industry, but with Government
representation.
8. Space Leadership Council
Space Leadership Council is co-chaired by David Willetts and Andy Green. It’s members are
senior space sector industrialists, academics and Government senior officials.
It has met 3 times already this year with another two planned.
One of its most important roles is to oversee the implementation of the IGS
recommendations to maximise growth in the sector.
To achieve growth and particularly within export it is necessary to be one of the first to
market.
Technology and innovation is the driver for winning in export, or winning a leading position
on multinational programmes
Iain Gray CEO, Technology Strategy Board is the SLC Champion of Recommendation 3
The Technology Strategy provides important insight to the Space Leadership Council to
assist discussions with all stakeholders and especially with Government in regard of what is
required to deliver the projected growth targets as outlined in the Space IGS
Therefore the SLC is closely monitoring the progress on the Technology roadmapping
activities
10. Space Agency Update
Already working as a shadow agency
Will not be official until next April
Negotiating Service Level Agreements with other Government departments
Has 3 additional staff on-loan (seconded) from industry.
The Agency has submitted it's own budget request into the CSR process
Need CSR decisions before full organisation and size can be further
developed.
Technology budget is the responsibility of the Agency with the Technology
Strategy Board remaining as its main delivery arm
Technology roadmapping will enable visibility where potential growth from the
UK Space community could be derived

13. Structure of Space Technology Roadmaps
Opportunities
The road maps are shaped by the market opportunities and drivers
Market
These two dynamics ensure that UK developments will have exploitation
routes of maximum growth
Research activities are to focus on where the UK has an existing or emerging
strength and capability
Capability
This will ensure that developments are building on the current foundation,
UK
create expedient development cycles (because they are not starting from
scratch) and further market differentiation in a globally competitive
environment.
Research Themes
Research themes create the building blocks of collaborative programmes that
will further evolve UK capabilities and strengths creating opportunities for
maximum inclusion across the diverse supply chain in the Space sector.
15. Telecommunications Market
Telecommunications dominates the UK Space industry in terms of earnings,
exports and employment for both upstream manufacturing and downstream
services and applications
Key market opportunities were highlighted the IGT report: Satellite Broadband,
Enterprise, Broadcast, Transport, Security and Environment
Required telecommunications satellite systems identified (e.g. Broadband,
mobile, broadcast etc.)
16. Telecommunications – UK Capability
Telecommunications technology developments are the enablers to allow industry to build
large programmes which give huge return multipliers on the technology investment
£740M
ARTES £20M
£350M/year
£1M
Seedcorn
Inmarsat
funding Broadband global
area network
BGAN – Broadband Global
Only two companies can deliver this Area network
technology – one in USA and
Astrium Led to the most advanced commercial
comms satellite in the world – Inmarsat4
UK industrial strengths to be highlighted for the required telecommunications satellite
systems:
System level (for turn-key satellite systems)
Subsystem level (e.g. Spacecraft Platforms, Payloads)
Equipment level (e.g. Avionics, High Power Amplifiers, Terminals)
Key UK capabilities and organisations will be identified
17. Telecommunications Research Themes
Individual programs have not been identified as
the commercial telecommunications satellite
market can provide a significant number of
opportunities each year
Research themes have been identified based on
maintaining and improving the competitiveness of
the UK satcoms industry:
Increased telecommunications satellite capacity
Reducing cost to manufacturer, operator and
user
Enabling new services and market opportunities
Flight opportunities for new technology
development are required
Institutional, PPP and commercial prospects

Balance of short, medium and long term growth
UK Priorities
40. Suggestions …..
Be open minded about the art of the possible
Think collaboration at all times
Don’t get hung up on other issues outside of the roadmapping process
at this stage … e.g. legislation, definitions, etc
This process will be repeated
