Our purpose
Our purpose is to promote safety, security, and sustainability in space by developing detailed and dynamic knowledge of the space environment. As space infrastructure is vital to modern life but remains politically fragile, we aim to raise awareness about its importance and empower people to contribute to a sustainable space future. We seek to inspire global understanding of the challenges space poses to both terrestrial and space environments. In the UK, we focus on decentralising opportunities in the space sector, particularly by growing the emerging space community in North East England.
