To make space safe, secure, and sustainable for all generations.
Nearly 20% of GDP is reliant on satellites. Disruption to timing signals from space would cost the economy an estimated £1bn a day A new era of threat requires a new era for defence, and the Strategic Defence Review recognises space as a critical domain gov.uk/government/pub…
Major General Paul Tedman, Commander of @UKSpaceCmd delivered a lecture at RUSI last week on the UK's space ambitions as part of our Profession of Arms series. Special thanks to @IHI_ad for sponsoring the event. RUSI Members can watch his prepared remarks in full.
Major General Paul Tedman, Commander of UK Space Command, spoke at @RUSI_org yesterday. He addressed the future of defence space, following the Strategic Defence Review, and how the UK can move from 'space blindness' to 'space competitiveness' by 2035. gov.uk/government/spe…
🚀 We had lift-off at #RIAT2025! RAF Fylingdales joined @UKSpaceCmd in the Space Zone, where young minds imagined the future of space—and saw how we protect it every day. From ISR to orbital awareness to satellite art, it was a stellar week. 🌍✨ #TeamFylingdales#STEM #RIAT2025
Great to welcome UK Astronaut @astro_timpeake to the interactive GCAP demonstration table today at #RIAT 2025. With thanks to @Leonardo_live contribution to GCAP. The table shows how having the technological advantage can impact on situational awareness in the battle space.
With 14,000+ satellites orbiting the Earth, the risk of collision and re-entry is rising, making space security vital. 🌍 🛰️ Discover how the National Space Operations Centre is safeguarding UK space interests as it celebrates its first anniversary. 👉 space.blog.gov.uk/2025/07/11/uk-…
The National Space Operations Centre (NSpOC) has released the June 2025 report on the threats from space debris. 🛰️🌍 In June there were: ➡️ 55 re-entries of space objects ➡️ 1,259 in-space collision warnings ➡️ 235 more registered objects in orbit. 👉 gov.uk/government/new…
Lt. Gen. Shawn Bratton, nominee for Vice Chief of Space Ops, told #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs we must normalize space as a warfighting domain–like air, land and sea–by setting clear rules, building resilience, and affirming the inherent right to self-defense. 👇

That’s a wrap on #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs Conference 2025. With insightful talks on space, autonomy, and modern conflict. Thanks to all the Chiefs, industry experts and academics for your contributions, and to our partners @airpowerassn.
The @ChiefofAirStaff delivered his keynote at the #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs Conference this morning. Addressing the past, present, and future ways we integrate air and space power to maximise control of the battlespace.
Our second episode of GASCC On Air sees our experts assess the importance of the space domain, how to develop credible deterrence against threats to it and how government, defence and industry need to work together to protect the domain. Watch now: bit.ly/44NEwgi
Are we making progress in Space? How do we regulate the domain & prevent adversaries infiltrating our security? Commander of @UKSpaceCmd leads this afternoon’s panel to discuss the risks & opportunities posed by space exploration. Watch now: airspacepower.com/conference/the…
Day 1 begins of the #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs Conference, with @ChiefofAirStaff Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton welcoming over 50 Air & Space Chiefs from around the world. What do they have to say about the evolving battlespace? Watch here: airspacepower.com/conference/the…
The Defence Secretary John Healey has today confirmed that His Majesty The King has approved the new appointment of Air Marshal Harv Smyth as the next Chief of the Air Staff. Read more about Air Marshal Smyth’s appointment here: gov.uk/government/new…
An excellent session highlighting just how critical space is to our daily lives - from phones to finance to defence. Losing access isn’t science fiction; it’s a national security risk. Vital we plan for ‘day 1 without space’.
What was the last thing you used that relies on satellites? How many minutes into your morning routine would you get before noticing satellites weren't working? @LukePollard joined representatives from government, parliament, industry & defence to discuss 'day 1 without space'
As a space nerd and someone who has responsibility for space operations in the MOD it was a real treat to speak at the Day One Without Space conference. Space is a sector worth £19bn to the Uk economy each year. It matters to our growth, prosperity and national security.
