Yes. The Government is investing significantly to support this element of space activity in the UK, with over £310 million of funding already committed through the European Space Agency, and a further £390 million through our membership in the EU’s Copernicus programme over the coming 3 years. Further investment decisions are a matter for the upcoming spending review.
