On-orbit assets are the enabling capabilities that power satellite applications. Without these assets, none of the satellite services available today would be possible. The space sector has seen significant shifts in its approach to the commercialisation of satellite applications, which has opened new opportunities through the use of small satellites, on-orbit servicing and low Earth orbit constellations.
We are providing opportunities for businesses to gain access to space by reducing risk and building relationships with UK-based service providers. The UK is growing capabilities to provide a full satellite ecosystem including component sourcing, satellite provision and builds, launches, in-orbit services, and mission support. We are working on ensuring these capabilities meet the needs of the market, and providing demonstration support to allow organisations the opportunity to show their new technology or service without needing to go outside of the UK.
Our IOD Programme is enabling organisations to demonstrate their innovative technology and services in space by providing CubeSat platforms, launches, and operational and business support. We currently have 6 missions within the programme, find out more about each one on the link below.

We are working with the developing UK launch capabilities to enable services required to provide a full access to space ecosystem in the UK. This includes supporting UK suppliers and increasing the knowledge of capabilities in the sector.
