From manufacturing satellites to delivering data services, the UK space sector has always been commercially orientated. The industry is now worth some £14.8 billion to the UK economy and exports represent £5.5 billion of this total. With a 3.3% annual growth rate and in excess of 900 ‘live’ organisations, the sector is mature, widespread, and boasts an exceptionally highly-skilled workforce.

The Satellite Applications Catapult is at the heart of UK industry, with a strong track record of helping businesses, areas and regions unlock customer demand, open new markets, drive exports, attract investment, and create jobs. We work with businesses of all sizes to realise their potential from space infrastructure and its applications. By connecting industry and academia, we get new research off the ground and into the market more quickly.

To this end, we are pleased to bring together the UK Space Capabilities Map & Catalogue which presents a brief introduction to a diverse range of successful companies in the UK Space Sector. These companies span a wide range of disciplines and are grouped by the industries they serve. By increasing the visibility of the capabilities of UK space companies we hope to stimulate future collaborations and new business as well as innovative new solutions for customers and end users.
