- Summary:
- Earth Observation (EO) science in fundamental to humanity's understanding of our planet, its climate and its natural processes. EO services support an estimated £100bn (4.7%) of the UK's Gross Domestic Products (GDP). The UK Space Agency (UKSA) launched the Centre for EO Instrumentation (CEOI) programme in 2007 to deliver an EO Instrumentation Programme (EOIP) to maintain and grow UK capability in low Technology-Readiness-Level (TRL) EO instrumentation. The EOIP was later expanded into the EO Technology Programme (EOTP), with an additional £15m up to March 2025 to develop innovative EO satellite instrumentation to maintain the UK's position at the forefront of EO capability and expertise. This report represents an interim deliverable within the CEOI Programme evaluation. It includes interim findings in our assessment of CEOI's impact, delivery and value for money alongside a series of comparator international case studies. It presents interim findings relating to the CEOI programme design and delivery, and the outcomes achieved. International case studies have been used to compare the UK's EO sector to other notable space-faring nations such as France, Germany, Canada, Japan and others. The evaluation's next phase will collect further data against the evaluation questions and indicators to provide a final assessment of the CEOI programme’s delivery and effectiveness. This deliverable will be submitted in March 2025.
