The UK Space Agency, under the national space technology programme, invites notifications of intention to bid for its national space technology programme – phase 3 call for space technology fast track projects. This supports the growth of the UK space sector by funding innovative fast track projects that accelerate the development of scientific or commercial technologies for space. Eligible activities include industrial research, feasibility studies, and experimental development. Proposals are sought within one of the following themes:
•telecommunications;
•sensing;
•position, navigation and timing;
•exploration and robotics;
•access to space.
Projects developing instrumentation for commercial applications are encouraged, as well as proposals that exploit the facilities and capabilities of the Satellite Applications Catapult.
