What this scheme funds
This UK programme co-funds research and development projects in space technology, helping raise their technical maturity and move them closer to real-world commercial use. It runs two tracks: one for early-stage, highly disruptive ideas and one for larger, more commercially advanced projects from UK businesses, universities and research organisations. The goal is to attract investment into the UK space sector and grow its market.
