Who We Are
Satellite Applications Catapult
The Satellite Applications Catapult is one of a network of UK technology and innovation companies which aim to drive economic growth through the commercialisation of research. Our aim is to support UK industry by accelerating the growth of satellite applications and to contribute to capturing a 10% share of the global space market predicted by 2030.
We are achieving this by exploiting the innovation potential in the UK industrial and academic communities, by being a focal point where small and medium enterprises, large industry and end users can work together with researchers to challenge barriers, explore and develop new ideas, and bring these to commercial reality.
Explore our Projects
How do space applications impact our everyday life? Our Projects Hub showcases our collaborative projects - past and present - that develop real-world applications for satellite technology across our focus areas.
We're currently highlighting a selection of our projects but will be building up to a full library, so keep an eye out for regular updates.
