The spaceports and missions of tomorrow require the convergence of the aerospace, infrastructure, communication and data science worlds. The complex interaction between regulatory environments, design constraints and design drivers will require each individual element to be designed with an understanding of the others. A deep understanding of all these environments is neither easily nor quickly gained, but it is fundamental to create a successful solution.
Our capabilities and services
Space – Shaping The Future
Why us?Atkins has the depth and breadth of engineering capabilities across all of the key sectors that are critical to Space. Combining this with its business consulting capabilities creates a powerful offering to our clients. From vehicle manufacturers, infrastructure and service providers to downstream analytics, we are able to advise and support clients in considering the wider Space ecosystem, successfully delivering an integrated solution.
Design and CertificationAtkins has been at the cutting edge of aerospace technology for over two decades. From designing and supporting certification of civil and military aircraft; to a range of military platforms and flagship projects in space, we have demonstrated an ability to create high quality pioneering solutions in a safety critical environment. Our specialists enable the design, development and test of launch vehicles and satellites, small and large – performing complex structural analysis and designing lightweight products using advanced engineering and technology.
Our engineering capability spans across many disciplines, including; mechanical, systems, safety, software and digital engineering.
Spaceports and InfrastructureInvolved at the forefront of regulation and certification in aerospace, transportation and infrastructure sectors, we can help clients navigate complex emerging requirements. Our experts know how to work with industry, regulators and customers to deliver flagship infrastructure.
We’ve been helping create infrastructure and systems for world class airports where air travel is safer, easier and faster for commuters. With a long heritage and proven expertise in understanding the built environment, Atkins is ideally placed to help shape spaceports, and the integration of disruptive technologies to drive better outcomes.
DefenceAtkins have a significant history in supporting defence organisations in the requirements definition, design, qualification and in-service support of assets. We work in secure environments, helping our customers to exploit data from satellites to gain tactical advantage – providing improved situational awareness and enhanced communications networks.
Our deep engineering insight can be applied holistically to ensure interdependent requirements are considered across the entire Space operating environment in both the upstream and downstream domains.

Our capabilities and services
Data Analytics Data and information are not the same: processing data in order that it can truly inform is both a science and an art. Our digital solutions and services for complex assets blend our expertise in digital transformation with our deep understanding, experience and heritage in traditional engineering.
Our engineers and analysts use data from design and in-service to inform decisions – from maintenance and safety to operational excellence and optimisation, we use our engineering knowledge to deliver understanding and useful insight.
Making Sense of the Earth from SpaceAs the UK’s largest engineering consultancy, and leaders in digital engineering, we utilise data across a range of established and emerging markets to generate intelligent insights and to engineer the built environment.
Our Geospatial capability extracts value from space data streams – such as position, navigation and timing (PNT) or Earth observation (EO) – by using it to describe the world around us, to support some of the most important global civil engineering projects across infrastructure, transportation and energy domains.
Engineering-led Business ConsultancyUsing the combination of our in-depth engineering, industry knowledge and business consulting expertise, we can provide service oriented business architecture models, supply chain optimisation solutions and cost benefit analysis for current and emerging markets.
Secure by DesignAtkins delivers cyber resilience expertise to the critical national infrastructure, government, national security and defence sectors.
By combining our engineering insight with our experience of working in secure and mission-critical environments, we can offer unrivalled insight into an organisation’s digital vulnerabilities, ensuring a ‘Secure by Design’ approach to everything we do.
Downstream Upstream and Downstream
We work with clients across Defence, space, government, critical national infrastructure and industry in achieving digital transformation. Our experience in delivering digital and business consulting across a diverse range of industries and scales is complemented by our technical credibility in space, aerospace and defence engineering.
We’ll work with you to understand where your organisation is, where it needs to be, and how to get there. Then we’ll help you do it.
Together we’ll ensure the best use of digital technologies and innovative ways of working, reducing operational costs and creating leaner, more agile organisations that respond at pace.
