The Space Age – how ‘experts’ got it wrong’


On space travel:"It's utter bilge. I don't think anybody will ever put up

enough money to do such a thing . . . What good would it do us?”

Richard Wooley, Astronomer Royal, 1956

“There is practically no chance space satellites will be used to provide

better telephone, telegraph, television, or radio service inside the United

States“

T. Craven, US Federal Communications Commission, 1961

The UK and Space


Over 50 years involvement in space

As a provider of systems to the world

As a user of data services at home

The UK Space Agency leads our civil space

programme

Policy advice to Ministers

Regulation

Investment (>£300 p.a.)

60 staff

Our goals are achieved via national, European and

international partnerships

The UK Space sector

Contributes £9.1 billion to the economy and directly employs 28,900

Estimated jobs supported by space 101,000

Three quarters of staff are graduates

UK space sector average growth rate 7.5% pa

Estimated UK share of the global market 7%

Targeting a £40B turnover in 2030, which means 100,000 new jobs

£37B of this will be in satellite applications and services


Launch of UKube-1: 8 July 2014First UK national cubesat

Fully functional 3-axis stabilised spacecraft weighing < 4kg

Built by SME Clydespace plus various universities and industries

Success will underpin export opportunities

The Basics of Satellite ApplicationsYou know about:

• Google Maps = Earth Observation

• Sat Nav = Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver

• Sky TV and media broadcasting = Satellite Communications

Did you know?

• Radar – can see through clouds so you can get image in any weather and in the dark

• Some satellites can be ‘tasked’ or asked to collect the data you want

• Copernicus – will give you free data about the earth for many years

• Galileo – is about to be launched and will enhance your GNSS service

• A satellite built in the UK was the first to provide disaster recovery data to the USA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina

Opportunities from Space – the perfect

storm • Technological advances in satellite capability

• Political commitment and funding for developing

operational applications and services

• Skills and people across UK public and private sector

• Help to navigate the industry and technology

So what can the Civil Service do to realise the

opportunities?


Trends

• Premium services with higher resiliency

and accuracy

• Improved trust, accuracy, resilience and

integration with complementary

solutions ---

• Galileo Civilian European alternative to GPS (USA) and Glonass (Russian)

Opportunities

• Autonomous vehicles

• Security and accreditation

• Document signature verification

• Galileo Public Regulated signal –

encrypted for secure navigation, position

and timing

Satellite Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT)Navigation satellites provide us with essential information that is used for:

personal navigation logistics synchronisation of

power stations

timing for financial

transactions


Copernicus – now launched

• European Earth Monitoring

Programme

• Sentinel 1a successful launch 3rd April

• 3.2bn Euro over 7 years

• Developing ground segment to give

unique UK access to data

• Assumed continuous monitoring

• FREE DATA at point of use


Copernicus – Sentinels for data and Services for

• Maritime

• Land

• Atmosphere

• Emergency response

• Security

• Climate change

Products delivered under these services to be defined by Member States

Defra lead the user forums


Case Studies of Operational Services• Response to Flooding

• Habitat Mapping

• Air Quality Awareness

• Access To Broadband In Remote Areas

• Management Of Assets In Remote Areas

• Optimising Fertiliser Use & Improving Crop Yield

Space for Smarter Government Programme

Government itself uses space for smarter, more efficient operations andmaking use of existing investment

Government is a first intelligent customer and drives growth throughexport of space products and services

We want to help public sector save money, innovate and make more effective policy decisions

Space Growth Action Plan 2014 –2030

Science and Technology Committee Report 2013


Space for Smarter Government:

Processes – Outputs – Outcomes


Departments leading the way

This first year SSGP are helping discover how space will be used in:

• Environment applications – for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

• Transport applications – for Department for Transport

• Natural Hazards Risk Management – for the Cabinet Office Civil Contingencies Unit

• Smart Cities – for Department of Communities and Local Government and Local

Authorities

DO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE NEXT PHASE OF SSGP?

DO YOU WANT TO INNOVATE AND USE SPACE TO SAVE MONEY?


The importance of space to

Defra

Presented by: Farhana AminDefra16th July 2014

Defra stated priorities

Grow the rural economy

champion a thriving, competitive British food and farming sector, drive growth in

the wider rural economy

Improve the environment

manage our rural, urban and marine environments, ensuring greater resilience

to environmental risks

Safeguard plant health

strengthen capability to minimise and manage plant disease and pest outbreaks

Safeguard animal health

minimise risks and increase preparedness for animal disease outbreaks

Copernicus Data for Defra

Satellite/EO data has real potential to make contributions at multiple levels

Policy effectiveness

Efficiency gains

Economic impact

Extent to which Defra can maximise opportunity from the Copernicus data is

currently being ascertained

Further uses of Copernicus /satellite data is being strengthened by connecting

together parts of business

Need for higher level engagement/coordination

Improving under Defra’s “ONE Business” business agenda

Help exists to achieve our goals

UKSA SSG Programme, Satellite Applications Catapult, AgriTech Centre for Agri-

Informatics, OGDs and private sector34

Strategic – Common Agricultural Policy

Major objective: Deliver CAP in England at the lowest possible cost

Subsidiary objectives:

Improve the customer experience – simplify doing business with Defra, reduce

duplication

Ensure that CAP continues to make a considerable contribution to Defra’s policy

objectives

Minimise disallowance risk - £280m of penalties were incurred within this CAP

period alone

CAP Pillar 1&2 > 50% Defra budget

Potential for cost saving

35

Farmer consultation – 1:1’s and

Event-based group input

Reference data: monitoring data,

walkovers, modelling data etc

Extrapolation of outputs to other catchments with potentially fewer data and less engaged landowners.

Remotely sensed dataLIDAR/ CASI/ Satellite imagery

Combining remote sensing with local knowledge to guide catchment work reducing diffuse pollution from farming

Catchment sensitive FarmingThe work is collaborative with EA Geomatics, EA Evidence (CSF)

and GWCT

Outputs for specific practical applicationto catchment DP issues – visualisation,catchment characterisationand targeting of measures etc.

Challenge for Defra

Our Minister and the CSA are very supportive of earth observations and satellite data becoming a greater part of the evidence base used across the Defra network.

Challenge from Defra CSA

Provide open access data in forms that allow easy mashing and analysis with a

wide range of other data sources to stimulate research and business and find

smarter ways of developing and implementing policy.

Conclusion

• The space industry is a major asset to the UK,

• Space applications can help you deliver your business more effectively and efficiently

• It is not too technical to understand – and where it is, there is help

• The costs are reducing - much of the data sources are now free and there are numerous pots of funding available

• Can we inspire you to use a space based solution that could help you innovate, save operational monies or make better policy decisions?
