know.space completed 4 case studies that explore the impact of ESA's early R&D activities on Europe's innovation and research. These studies, commissioned by the European Space Agency, offer a detailed look at how early-stage support drives innovative progress in the space domain.

A consolidated snapshot of resources available to UK space entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs. Completed as a Space Placements in Industry (SPIN) internship - organised by the Satellite Applications Catapult and funded by the UK Space Agency.

know.space were commissioned to support UKSA in the collation, collection and reporting of North Star Metric data. The scope for this study included all relevant national programmes and selected European Space Agency (ESA) programmes, and used a mix of primary and secondary research to collect evidence on Metric impacts. It is an exploratory study and represents the first comprehensive effort to measure North Star Metric outcomes across UKSA.

Our research report capturing the economic value of space, the benefit to the UK of space activities, and the rationale and market failures that underpin government intervention in the space sector.

Supporting inward investment into the UK space sector, know.space developed an online platform and 6 downloadable reports outlining where UK space capabilities lie across the supply chain and how to establish a company within the country.

The definitive source of information on the UK space sector, covering income, employment, R&D activity, regional analysis, and an assessment of wider UK GDP supported by satellite services.

This evaluation focused on the impact of the UK’s national funding for processing and analysing data from the Gaia mission, considering scientific impact as well as impacts on UK competitiveness and reputation, skills and inspiration, and innovation.

Commissioned by the UK Space Agency and as part of a Technopolis Group led consortium, know.space worked to develop a monitoring and evaluation framework for the UK’s investments into the European Space Agency (ESA) at the 2019 ESA Council of Ministers, and evaluate impact of these investments to date.

know.space completed 13 technology transfer case studies in preparation for the 2022 ESA Council at Ministerial level, to provide strong examples of the use of space outside of the space industry itself, demonstrating benefits in terms of innovation, commercialisation, economic growth, and for European society overall.
