Space Daily: The International Space Innovation Centre (ISIC) has welcomed the recent announcement from the Technology Strategy Board, UK Space Agency (UKSA) and South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) that 400k pounds of the National Space Technology Programme (NSTP) funding will be channelled into projects supported by the CEMS facility at ISIC.The four successful applications for 'Fast Track' CEMS project funding in the NSTP 'Space for Growth' competition were submitted by Magellium, Logica, VEGA Space and NPL. Each project will last for up to nine months.
These awards follow the announcement in December by David Willetts, Minister for Universities and Science, of a 3 million pounds Government investment to build the basic infrastructure for the CEMS facility at ISIC.
CEMS is being designed as a collaborative framework to support the open innovation necessary to stimulate growth in the market for new services based on Earth Observation data. This will create jobs, increase the UK share of a growing market, support world class scientific research and generate commercial revenues....
