EXCERPT: A prosperity from space strategy set out a vision on Friday to double the size of Britain's space sector over the next decade. The strategy [...] aims to double the value of space to wider industrial activities from 340 billion U.S. dollars to 680 billion U.S. dollars, and to generate an extra 11 billion U.S. dollars in exports and inward investment.
The strategy focuses on four sector priorities, earth information services including navigation, analytics and security, global connectivity anywhere from any device, in-space robotics for science enterprise, consumers, and low-cost access to space. The space sector will actively encourage diversity and inclusion in its workforce and interact with 1 million young people every year in a bid to increase interest in careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
[...] Minister for Investment Graham Stuart, said:"Too few people are aware of the success and significance of the UK space sector or its vast potential for future growth. The government is determined to support our emergence as a commercial space service hub with an increasing global market share backed by new partnerships in science and trade."
