What they do
Provide specialist and subject matter expertise in the Space Sector
Space Professionals Partnership Ltd. is an independent consultancy services company with space at the heart of its business, aiming to grow an independent network of consultants with deep genuine expertise across the space sector.
As part of their service, Space Professionals Partnership provides specialist and subject matter support to government, investors and industry, including technical assistance, training, capacity building, and strategic and commercial advice.
Consultancy at the highest level
Space Professionals Partnership recorded a number of significant achievements in 2024, including being selected by the UK Space Agency as the Assessment Partner for the Challenge Works Aqualunar Challenge, which seeks innovative early-stage concepts for purifying water on the Lunar surface.
Space Professionals provided detailed assessments of initial applications for this challenge, and is set to support the assessment of the finalists’ detailed concepts in early 2025.
In July 2024, the UK Space Agency awarded a contract for a Satellite Applications training project led by the Royal Institute for Navigation.
Space Professionals Partnership, alongside Geospatial Ventures and Space Skills Alliance, is developing and delivering expert-led modular courses with a focus on satellite applications such as EO, PNT and Satcom.
In November 2024, on behalf of Access Bridge Ventures, Space Professionals Partnership brought together experts in Earth Observation services, platform & payload engineering and commercial strategy to provide technical due diligence for a Middle East-based start-up Earth Observation company.
Future plans and ambitions
Space Professionals Partnership’s short-term aims are to grow its associate consultant network and expand its consultancy to support more international clients, while continuing to support the Government in independent procurement assessment and assurance.
