Spacecraft propulsion: £2 million for collaborative R&D

Businesses can win a share of £2 million for innovation in spacecraft propulsion systems.

Innovate UK and the UK Space Agency have made £2 million available to support business and technical innovation in spacecraft propulsion systems.

Propulsion systems account for a large part of a satellite but are not generally seen to add commercial value to a mission. Innovation in propulsion, however, can save tens of millions of pounds in launch costs.

Your business could win support for collaborative R&D into innovative propulsion systems that add value to a spacecraft.
