What activities are being carried out in the UK regarding space technologies?
How is this market currently structured? What is the role of each participant?
What activities / what influence do NASA and ESA have in the UK?
What is the role of the UK Space Agency and what opportunities does this present?
What kind of businesses are involved in development and commercialisation of space technologies? What is the relationship between them?
What are the major international programmes and their objectives? Who is involved (which organisations and their locations)? What is the process for getting involved?
