The webinars will provide updates on how space companies and academia are being impacted by the pandemic, as well as the latest advice, information and resources available. You will also have the opportunity to engage directly with senior leadership from government and industry and share how COVID-19 is impacting your organisation.

This is part of a wider collaborative effort between UKspace, the UK Space Agency and the Department for International Trade in helping the UK space sector respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The webinars have been developed in partnership with the Satellite Applications Catapult, European Space Agency, ADS and the Satellite Finance Network.
