Government Fund to Support New Ideas for Cleaning Up Space Deadline Extended (UK)
Businesses, not-for-profit organisations and academics are invited to apply for a share of up to £800,000 in funding from the UK Space Agency to develop ideas for space debris removal missions.
The UK Space Agency is looking to fund two active debris removal feasibility studies through its Space Surveillance and Tracking programme, which aims to make space safer and more sustainable. The studies requested may enable a UK Active Debris Removal mission launching as soon as 2025 to remove two or more targets from Low Earth Orbit.
It is expected that between £300,000 and £400,000 will be awarded per project.
Match funding will be required.
The deadline for applications has been extended to midnight the 19th July 2021.
