The company said this location in the Harwell Space Cluster alongside the UK Space Agency, European Space Agency (ESA), Satellite Applications Catapult, and others will contribute to the in-orbit servicing supply chain and commercial servicing economy through creating new jobs and national capability.<\/p>\n<p>The United Kingdom has pledged to invest in its space sector, releasing the first UK National Space Strategy in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Paul Bate, CEO of the UK Space Agency, attended the opening. \u201cWith nearly 5,000 operational satellites and over 30,000 pieces of trackable debris, the ability to operate safely in space is growing increasingly challenging,\u201d Bate said. \u201cThe U.K. is leading efforts to make space more sustainable and we\u2019re backing companies, such as Astroscale, to design innovative new missions to clear hazardous space junk.
