Catalogue Preview
Homepage
The Home Page provides a starting point for exploring the Space Capabilities Catalogue. Navigate between dashboards or begin your journey by selecting “Start your search” to refine your exploration by Region, Sector, Category, and Application Area to discover the organisations, technologies, and capabilities that make up the Space Ecosystem. Our work sits within the Beyond Earth mission, focused on positioning the UK as a key player in the in-space manufacturing and R&D economy.
Search
Explore the Space Ecosystem by searching for organisations based on their geographic location and technological capabilities. Refine your results using filters for Region, Cluster, Sector, Activity, Category, and System to identify organisations with the expertise and capabilities relevant to your needs.
Catalogue Dashboard
Explore the UK’s space supply chains, from upstream technologies to downstream applications and beyond-Earth activities. Navigate through different sectors, activities, and technologies to identify organisations with specific capabilities, understand the composition of UK supply chains, and discover potential suppliers and partners.
Supply Chains
The Supply Chain dashboard provides a comprehensive perspective on organisations within the UK Space Sector and their positions within the supply chain. Here, you have two options to navigate: you can either utilise the ‘Value Chain’ filter or explore the tree structure. This allows you to select a Sector (Upstream, Downstream, Beyond Earth, or Other), an activity (e.g., Downstream products, Launch, or IOSM), a Category, and finally, a more detailed system level for an in-depth exploration of the supply chain.
All the filters are interlinked, so when you make a selection, it adjusts the other filters, along with the cards displayed on the side of the Dashboard and the statistical information, to align with your choices. If you click on an organisation’s card, you can further access detailed information about that specific organisation by selecting the ‘Org. Info’ button. To return to the Home Page, simply click on the ‘Home’ button.
