Satellite Applications Catapult CentreGoverning Board review 8 December 2011Michael LawrenceHead of Special Projects

New name, clearer visionSatellite Applications Catapult:‘generating growth across the economy through new satellite enabled business’Satellites have a unique global reach;• Communications• Broadcasting• Positioning• ObservationOut of scope ‐ Space science, Space exploration, Manned space flight, Expendable rocket launchers, Astronomy

Stakeholder engagement summary• Built on the relationships established by the Space Innovation and Growth Team and the International Space Innovation Centre (ISIC)• Well organised and inclusive industry response – Ukspace Trade Association + Intellect + BARSC• Connections being made outside Space sector – e.g. IBM, Google, BMT, Willis Re, SGI, TISICS, Reliance Precision• Strong alignment with new public sector landscape – Space Leadership Council – UK Space Agency, European Space Agency, Met Office, NPL, DSTL – Commercially focused University research activity e.g. Surrey, Reading, Nottingham etc.• Good response to open engagement process – Space KTN Special Interest Group on _connect (1200 members, 63 in TIC group) – Orientation workshop (84 attendees) – Surveys – industry (80 responses), university Business Development (12 responses) – Conference sessions at UK Space Conf, Earth Observation Conf, Venturefest – Specialist workshops – Propulsion, MEMS, Entrepreneurs in Space (Innovate 11)
