International Partnership Space Programme IPSP A two year £32 million programme, established and led by the UK Space Agency. Aims to test an approach to enable UK satellite and other space sector companies to develop mutual benefit international partnerships. Provides grants of up to 50% (or 60% and 70 %, respectively, for medium and small companies) to undertake collaborative projects. The first call was in 2014, with a second call in of the existing 19 grants have a strong EO focus.

EO is an essential component of the infrastructure and contributor of economic growth, data and science. It is a KPI for the Agency Success for UKSA requires growing existing UK strengths, seizing new markets and engaging the public sector as operational users. Technology and business models are changing. Partnerships are essential to deliver operational services to realise the benefits of EO.

Thank you for your attention and interest Have a good WIGISS meeting Any questions?

Case for space Summary The space sector is: –High skill –High value added –Highly productive –Export intensive –Attracting increasing FDI –Growing rapidly It also enables other sectors, boosting productivity and supporting growth in the wider economy

IPSP projects with EO focus.. 1 Deimos UK: Smart Application for Feature extraction & 3D modelling using high resolution satellite ImagerY (SAFIY) in collaboration with Dubai. Will use EO data to monitor, and detect changes in vegetation, water, road networks and buildings in support of the Dubai "smart government" initiative. Ecometrica: Advancing Earth observation applications for forests in Brazil and Mexico. Involves a network of connected centres combining local and global EO data products for specific regional applications Satellite Applications Catapult: Collaborative SAR solutions for Australia, based on what’s being developed for the UK collaborative ground segment with also further opportunities for UK companies to export to Australia and other countries.

…2 SPIRE: Nanosatellite-powered Earth observation application for small vessel tracking and monitoring in collaboration with Singapore. The project combines AIS and InfraRed/optical medium resolution data. SSTL: KazSTSAT in collaboration with Kazakhstan. The additional (IPSP) funding has allowed a 20m multi-spectral imagery to be added, improved downlink/image processing capabilities and the development of downstream services. Stevenson Astrosat: Oceania Pacific Recovery and Protection in Disaster (RAPID) in collaboration with Vietnam. The RAPID system is designed to provide a vital link between critical satellite imaging information and ‘in the field’ emergency responders making crucial decisions during and in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Surrey Space Centre: Earth Observation for the preservation of ecological Bacalar corridor in Mexico. To develop strong commercial and academic links between UK and Mexico for the exploitation of satellite EO data to address real-world problems.

….3 Teratech Components Ltd: Collaborative development of radiometer components for meteorological instruments in collaboration with China. University of Strathclyde: Space technologies for agriculture robotics with soil sensing and a haptic robotic arm (AgriRover) in collaboration with China. I’ve classed this as remote sensing as one aim is to understand and automate the measurement of soil quality using laser spectroscopy.
