Britain's space sector is growing at over 8% a year. The Government supported this high growth sector by providing £1.2 billion of investment at the European Space Agency Ministerial last November. On 24 January I announced an extra £25 million for National Space research. The Satellite Applications Catapult is now open and will receive core funding of up to £10 million per annum.
