How to make the UK a partner of choice in space activities?
Background
"DSIT sits within a wider ecosystem of institutions with an interest in space research.
A non-exhaustive list includes UKSA, DEFRA, DfT, DSTL, HMRC, MoD, Met Office, Satellite Applications Catapult, Ordnance Survey, NHS, Rail Safety and Standards Board and UKRI. The Space Academics Network, the Space Partnership and the Space Clusters also work to support, promote and coordinate research in space. Within this ecosystem DSIT’s focus is on the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the ambitions set out in the National Space Strategy.
We are considering whether, and if so how, to convene a College of Experts on space, and would welcome views on the matter."
