Collaboration between government, industry and academics is essential in order to drive the UK’s science base and economy forward.
Space Minister David Willetts stated last week that new developments in the space industry will help bring new opportunities for British innovators and make Britain a major player in the space industry.
Mr Willets pointed out that there are a number of areas ready for greater co-operation such as space exploration to improve scientific understanding of the universe and earth sciences, which includes climate change.
