The UK Space Agency, under the national space technology programme, invites proposals for its fast tracks grants. These support projects that aim to develop the capability of the UK space sector. Proposals are sought for space technology research and development projects in areas including technology proof of concept, technology developments, establishing new industrial research collaborations, market studies, or studies into spin in or out of technologies for space. Projects should introduce or develop technologies that offer disruptive or enabling potential to existing concepts, for example to improve performance, or improve system parameters such as cost, mass and resource requirements. Preference will be given to proposals of the highest technical quality that accelerate the development of scientific or commercial technologies for space.
Industry-industry and industry-academia collaborations will be given preference. A UK institution must lead the consortium. Non-UK entities may participate as partners.
Grants are worth up to £200,000 for up to one year.
