Britain Invests in Space Resilience Amid Growing Dependence
The UK government has published a new space strategy, treating space as critical national infrastructure and prioritizing defence, national security, and economic growth. The strategy aims to make the UK a competitive, agile space power, with investments in space resilience and counter-space capabilities. This shift in policy may be driven by the growing dependence on space-enabled services and the need to protect against disruptions. According to the Royal Aeronautical Society, the UK’s space strategy is a step in the right direction, but its success will depend on the government’s ability to convert investment into tangible space effects, as reported by Unknown Source.
