The Satellite Applications Catapult is an elite technology and innovation company which exists to grow the UK space sector and, as satellite applications become increasingly fundamental to many sectors, to grow the UK economy.

We do this across three missions. These represent areas of great opportunity for the UK space sector and wider UK economy, areas where we have existing UK expertise and strong academic and commercial capability, and where the Catapult can play a clear role in solving the most immediate or pressing challenges.

As part of a network of nine UK Catapults, we are dedicated to boosting our national capability and promoting growth in strategically important areas of innovation and technology as directed by UK government. We take a commercial approach to the provision of services but reinvest our profits for the good of the sector.
