The British government is preparing to release a new space strategy that will provide a “whole-of-government” approach for space in the country.


Speaking at the Spacetide conference in Tokyo last week, Rebecca Evernden, director of the U.K. Space Agency, said the strategy, set for release “in the coming weeks,” would provide guidance for civil, commercial and national security space activities.


“That strategy will be framed around two outcomes, which are economic growth and national security,” she said. “Everything that we will do will be aligned with those two outcomes.”
