The next generation…
The Space Age – how ‘experts’ got it wrong’
From the Whitehall to orbit and back again: using space in government Space For Smarter Government Programme (SSGP)
On space travel:"It's utter bilge. I don't think anybody will ever put up
enough money to do such a thing . . . What good would it do us?”
Richard Wooley, Astronomer Royal, 1956
“There is practically no chance space satellites will be used to provide
better telephone, telegraph, television, or radio service inside the United
States“
T. Craven, US Federal Communications Commission, 1961
The UK and Space
From the Whitehall to orbit and back again: using space in government Space For Smarter Government Programme (SSGP)
Over 50 years involvement in space
As a provider of systems to the world
As a user of data services at home
The UK Space Agency leads our civil space
programme
Policy advice to Ministers
Regulation
Investment (>£300 p.a.)
60 staff
Our goals are achieved via national, European and
international partnerships
The UK Space sector
Contributes £9.1 billion to the economy and directly employs 28,900
Estimated jobs supported by space 101,000
Three quarters of staff are graduates
UK space sector average growth rate 7.5% pa
Estimated UK share of the global market 7%
Targeting a £40B turnover in 2030, which means 100,000 new jobs
£37B of this will be in satellite applications and services

Launch of UKube-1: 8 July 2014First UK national cubesat
Fully functional 3-axis stabilised spacecraft weighing < 4kg
Built by SME Clydespace plus various universities and industries
Success will underpin export opportunities
The Basics of Satellite ApplicationsYou know about:
• Google Maps = Earth Observation
• Sat Nav = Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver
• Sky TV and media broadcasting = Satellite Communications
Did you know?
• Radar – can see through clouds so you can get image in any weather and in the dark
• Some satellites can be ‘tasked’ or asked to collect the data you want
• Copernicus – will give you free data about the earth for many years
• Galileo – is about to be launched and will enhance your GNSS service
• A satellite built in the UK was the first to provide disaster recovery data to the USA in the wake of Hurricane Katrina

Opportunities from Space – the perfect
storm • Technological advances in satellite capability
• Political commitment and funding for developing
operational applications and services
• Skills and people across UK public and private sector
• Help to navigate the industry and technology
So what can the Civil Service do to realise the
opportunities?
FR5: From the North East to orbit and back again: using space in government Space For Smarter Government Programme (SSGP)
Trends
• Premium services with higher resiliency
and accuracy
• Improved trust, accuracy, resilience and
integration with complementary
solutions ---
• Galileo Civilian European alternative to GPS (USA) and Glonass (Russian)
Opportunities
• Autonomous vehicles
• Security and accreditation
• Document signature verification
• Galileo Public Regulated signal –
encrypted for secure navigation, position
and timing
Satellite Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT)Navigation satellites provide us with essential information that is used for:
personal navigation logistics synchronisation of
power stations
timing for financial
transactions

Copernicus – now launched
• European Earth Monitoring
Programme
• Sentinel 1a successful launch 3rd April
• 3.2bn Euro over 7 years
• Developing ground segment to give
unique UK access to data
• Assumed continuous monitoring
• FREE DATA at point of use

Space for Smarter Government Programme
Government itself uses space for smarter, more efficient operations andmaking use of existing investment
Government is a first intelligent customer and drives growth throughexport of space products and services
We want to help public sector save money, innovate and make more effective policy decisions

Departments leading the way
This first year SSGP are helping discover how space will be used in:
• Environment applications – for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
• Transport applications – for Department for Transport
• Natural Hazards Risk Management – for the Cabinet Office Civil Contingencies Unit
• Smart Cities – for Department of Communities and Local Government and Local
Authorities
DO YOU WANT TO BE PART OF THE NEXT PHASE OF SSGP?
DO YOU WANT TO INNOVATE AND USE SPACE TO SAVE MONEY?

The importance of space to
Defra
Presented by: Farhana AminDefra16th July 2014
Defra stated priorities
Grow the rural economy
champion a thriving, competitive British food and farming sector, drive growth in
the wider rural economy
Improve the environment
manage our rural, urban and marine environments, ensuring greater resilience
to environmental risks
Safeguard plant health
strengthen capability to minimise and manage plant disease and pest outbreaks
Safeguard animal health
minimise risks and increase preparedness for animal disease outbreaks

Copernicus Data for Defra
Satellite/EO data has real potential to make contributions at multiple levels
Policy effectiveness
Efficiency gains
Economic impact
Extent to which Defra can maximise opportunity from the Copernicus data is
currently being ascertained
Further uses of Copernicus /satellite data is being strengthened by connecting
together parts of business
Need for higher level engagement/coordination
Improving under Defra’s “ONE Business” business agenda
Help exists to achieve our goals
UKSA SSG Programme, Satellite Applications Catapult, AgriTech Centre for Agri-
Informatics, OGDs and private sector34
Strategic – Common Agricultural Policy
Major objective: Deliver CAP in England at the lowest possible cost
Subsidiary objectives:
Improve the customer experience – simplify doing business with Defra, reduce
duplication
Ensure that CAP continues to make a considerable contribution to Defra’s policy
objectives
Minimise disallowance risk - £280m of penalties were incurred within this CAP
period alone
CAP Pillar 1&2 > 50% Defra budget
Potential for cost saving

Farmer consultation – 1:1’s and
Event-based group input
Reference data: monitoring data,
walkovers, modelling data etc
Extrapolation of outputs to other catchments with potentially fewer data and less engaged landowners.
Remotely sensed dataLIDAR/ CASI/ Satellite imagery
Combining remote sensing with local knowledge to guide catchment work reducing diffuse pollution from farming
Catchment sensitive FarmingThe work is collaborative with EA Geomatics, EA Evidence (CSF)
and GWCT
Outputs for specific practical applicationto catchment DP issues – visualisation,catchment characterisationand targeting of measures etc.
Challenge for Defra
Our Minister and the CSA are very supportive of earth observations and satellite data becoming a greater part of the evidence base used across the Defra network.
Challenge from Defra CSA
Provide open access data in forms that allow easy mashing and analysis with a
wide range of other data sources to stimulate research and business and find
smarter ways of developing and implementing policy.

Conclusion
• The space industry is a major asset to the UK,
• Space applications can help you deliver your business more effectively and efficiently
• It is not too technical to understand – and where it is, there is help
• The costs are reducing - much of the data sources are now free and there are numerous pots of funding available
• Can we inspire you to use a space based solution that could help you innovate, save operational monies or make better policy decisions?
