The Government’s UK Space Agency has announced a \u00a36.9 million investment in next generation satellite<\/a> communications technology, which will be distributed between five UK-led projects through the European Space Agency\u2019s (ESA) ARTES (Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems) programme.<\/p>\n

The projects themselves represent a mix of different technologies, some of which relate to satellite<\/a> refuelling and others of which delve more into developing 5G<\/a> based Non-Terrestrial Networks or advancing optical (laser) links for data transfer.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The Government states that European demand for satellites up to 2033 is forecasted to be worth \u00a340bn and even just 2% of this would bring around \u00a3800m in revenues for the UK economy alone. The UK\u2019s space sector is said to be worth \u00a318.9bn.<\/div>\n

The relatively small funding boost comes ahead of the ESA Ministerial Council in Bremen on 26-27th November, where the Government will negotiate the UK\u2019s investment into the future of Europe\u2019s space ambitions, with a focus on economic growth and national security. Evaluation shows that every \u00a31 invested in ESA returns \u00a37.49 in direct benefits to the UK economy.<\/p>\n

Space Minister, Liz Lloyd, said: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Space technology and especially satellites, are essential to our daily lives. From the sat nav in your car to your mobile phone, from weather forecasts to your online banking \u2013 space is where it all happens.<\/p>\n

By backing our UK sector, we\u2019re not only cementing our position as a European space leader \u2013 we\u2019re creating high-skilled jobs, attracting investment, and ensuring space technologies can connect communities to the space-enabled services they need.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The government has previously allocated the UK Space Agency a budget of \u00a32.8 billion up to 2029\/30.<\/p>\n

The Five Projects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a4 Orbit Fab will deliver the Advancing Satcom Technology with Refuelling and Logistics (ASTRAL) project with a total UK funding of up to \u00a32.9 million. The contract for the first stage of the mission, worth \u00a31.3 million, has now been awarded by ESA. This mission will prove the capability to refuel electric propulsion satellites using UK-developed technology, ensuring satellites can remain in orbit for longer or can manoeuvre away from threats.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Goonhilly Earth Station in Cornwall will lead the AGILE: Antenna Ground Interface and LunaNet Equipment project, supported by \u00a31.6 million in funding. Amidst the growing number of lunar missions, this project will produce an interface unit that can be installed in global antennas to communicate with spacecraft using the internationally recognised LunaNet specification. This will allow missions to seamlessly connect to ground infrastructure, improving mission success rates.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Vicinity Technologies will receive \u00a31.19 million for its 5G<\/a> NTN-based Satellite<\/a> Access Networks project. The team will design and develop a versatile 5G<\/a> Non-Terrestrial Network regenerative payload system and user terminals, including the entire software stack for both space and ground segments. This technology will support uninterrupted and scalable internet services globally, from hard-to-reach areas to smart cities.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Archangel Lightworks, working with the support of Eutelsat<\/a> will advance optical communications through the Space Optical Link Integration Study (SOLIS) project, funded with \u00a3356,000. This study, delivered under ESA\u2019s Sunrise programme, will investigate use cases for deploying Free Space Optical Communications technology within Eutelsat<\/a>\u2019s OneWeb<\/a> LEO global network.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Inmarsat Navigation Ventures Ltd (Viasat UK) will receive \u00a3881,000 for the International Virtual Satellite Operators Network (Phase 2) project. This initiative will develop a service that enables governments to plan, procure, manage and monitor satellite communications services from Viasat and other providers, ensuring secure and coherent management of critical communications.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
