12
Paragraph: 191
Scrutinise UK space policy implementation, resilience, and governance for sector success.
Conclusion
Should our successor Committee wish to examine UK space policy, it should consider: • Scrutinising the ongoing implementation of the spaceflight regulations and their impact on the success of the UK’s small satellite launch sector; • Exploring the progress made on the ten points set out in the Position, Navigation and Timing Framework, to determine if improvements to the UK’s resilience against loss of PNT services has been achieved; • Analysing whether the UK is benefiting from its investment in OneWeb, including investigating whether manufacturing is taking place in the UK; and • Scrutinising the governance structure put in place for the space sector, including looking at how the National Space Council and Space Sector Industry Forum are functioning, as well as progress being made toward the goals set out in the 2021 National Space Strategy and Space Industrial Plan.
