Made in Space: UK funding boosts breakthrough space technologies

The UK Space Agency are supporting British companies developing next-generation space technologies.

Space Minister Liz Lloyd announced £19 million funding at London Tech Week in June for Cardiff-based Space Forge and the UK Innovation & Science Seed Fund fund for early-stage UK space companies.

Space Forge will receive £10 million to support development of their new deployable heat shield system, designed to protect spacecraft returning to Earth.

And £9.25 million will boost UK space companies via UKI2S, helping early-stage, high-potential UK space businesses get off the ground and attract more private investment, supporting jobs and growth across the country.
