Aims As well as gaining feedback on UKSA plans, this workshop aims to facilitate conversations between launch service providers, satellite mission owners, payload providers, governmental bodies, launch brokers and other space sector organisations.

The workshop will help inform the way forward towards achieving the goal of the UK becoming the leading provider of commercial small satellite launch in Europe by 2030, as defined in the National Space Strategy (NSS).

The workshop outcomes will support UK Space Agency decision making following the allocation of £108 million funding for spaceflight in the UKSA Corporate Plan for 2022 - 2025.

This session will also test the assumptions being made around the optimal commercial mechanisms to be employed to facilitate the capture of the European market in commercial small satellite launch.
