Summary
The UK Space Agency (UKSA) is an executive agency of the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) and provides technical advice on the government’s space strategy, supporting the UK space sector to deliver the government’s vision.
Space is a part of everyday life. Satellites underpin our national economy, from agriculture and banking to aviation and shipping, and support our national security. Space science provides critical data to understand and address global challenges such as climate change, while missions to explore our solar system unite nations and advance humanity’s horizons.
We support a thriving space sector in the UK, which generates an annual income of £18.9 billion and employs 52,028 people across the country.
Through our portfolio of programmes and projects, we encourage the development of national space capabilities and are an early-stage investor in space research and development. We also promote the UK space sector’s interests and achievements; make connections to join up industry and academia; and represent the UK in international space programmes.
We have a powerful global voice, partnering with institutions across the world, including the European Space Agency.

We will support talented people from all backgrounds to build a career and thrive.

Do you want to contribute to developing new innovative and resilient position, navigation and timing (PNT)? This is an exciting opportunity to join the UK Space Agency team that manages the UK’s activities in PNT, alongside the National PNT Office.
PNT is critically important to all sectors of UK society and underpins wider economic development both at home and abroad. The signals we rely on for PNT are delivered from space-based satellite systems such as GPS and Galileo. It is, by some measures, the largest space sector with the biggest impact on daily life.
Space is inherently collaborative, and as such, involves a range of stakeholders across government. PNT was specifically identified as a key strategic UK capability that should be developed with both civil and defence requirements taken into account. As government begins to address our national PNT objectives, the UK Space Agency is looking for support to deliver this important work.
