Engaging in this procurement can help businesses expand their market presence and collaborate with a prominent UK buyer, potentially leading to further contracts in the aerospace sector.

## Notice

Provision of space radiation measurement services in-orbit (ideally high-LEO) through the procurement of a "Trusted" (high TRL radiation instrument, ideally with flight heritage) calibrated on-ground and integrated in/on to a host spacecraft to measure external radiation characteristics once on orbit. Procured as at least one host-instrument pair to be launched (mid 2022) and accepted in-orbit, with option for a 2nd pair. CONTINUED IN SECTION II.2.4
