The UK government has reformed a taskforce to look at how to grow the UK space industry, having disbanded the group less than a year ago. Whitehall has also launched a new space strategy, which sets out goals and requirements to use the sector to drive economic growth through rocket launches, satellite technology and innovation. Industry insiders say it is key that the ideas in the strategy are brought to life quickly.

The advisory group the National Space Council was established in 2020 to provide leadership on building the UK space sector but was disbanded by Liz Truss during her short term as prime minister last year. Co-chaired by the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the MoD, the group has now been reinstated and will provide ministerial direction to the prime minister on what is needed to grow the space economy.
