This report, commissioned by the UK Space Agency and prepared by Frazer-Nash Consultancy, provides an early impact analysis of the UK’s participation in the European Space Agency’s (ESA) General Support Technology Programme (GSTP) between 2019 and 2024. Covering a sample of 44 funded activities from 11 organisations (representing 31% of the UK’s GSTP funding), the evaluation assesses outcomes aligned with the UK’s National Space Strategy.

It highlights how GSTP funding has supported innovation, job creation, and strategic growth across the UK space sector, particularly among SMEs.

Inside: key metrics, emerging outcomes, and real-world case studies from across the UK space ecosystem.
