UK Space Industry spotlight

Our next teaser film is here! And this time we are celebrating the UK space industry.

Inspired by the incredible first photographs released by ESA last week from the Euclid telescope’s astounding mission to map the dark universe, and ahead of the pivotal UK Space Conference next week, this film spotlights some of the exceptional activity and talent hard at work - on the ground and miles above - to advance the UK space sector and forge a better, brighter future.

Poised to be a source of huge opportunity and a nationwide positive force for the future of the UK economy, there has never been a more important time to champion the UK’s pioneers across this fast-growing sector.

The companies and organisations highlighted in this film, and who will be profiled in the UKII report, are listed below in order of appearance. Please do like, follow and learn more about their exceptional work.
