SpaceTech connected to needs on Earth

BECOME’s SpaceTech direction connects scientific questions with the potential users of a technology or dataset. It creates opportunities for research collaboration, applied learning and the development of carefully scoped projects.

Start with the application

What observation, connection or decision does the user need? Which data or technical capability could help? Defining the use case gives a project a basis for assessing access, resolution, reliability and practical constraints.

Areas for exploration

• Earth-observation applications related to water, resources and environmental conditions.
• Data analysis connecting satellite information with other available sources.
• Communications and connected-systems research relevant to the proposed project.
• International challenges that bring scientific, engineering and business perspectives together.

Distinguish related research from demonstrated capability

Research in communications, drones and data collection can inform relevant technical questions. A space application still requires its own requirements, specialist assessment and validation plan.

Link knowledge with a development decision

An exploratory study or supervised challenge can identify a useful next question. A professional pilot requires a separate scope, suitable expertise and clear responsibility for delivery.
