Notice Information

Notice Title

Launch Market Study Update

Notice Description

* We are seeking a desk-based update to the evidence and findings in the original LMS about the potential size and sustainability of a UK commercial spaceflight market, to reflect evidence from the period from 2021 to 2023. The evidence from the LMS and updated data relating to the period 2021-2023 will be used to consider the case for government intervention beyond Phase 1 of the Spaceflight programme. We are seeking updated figures for the global and UK addressable market, with a comparison with the figures in the original LMS and how 2021-2023 realised figures line up with what the LMS predicted, to show if there have been any significant changes.
