Building a ‘Space Bridge’ between the UK and Australia The UK Space Agency calls it a ‘Space Bridge’, between the UK and Australia to form “a partnership to increase knowledge exchange and investment across the two countries’ space sectors”. Announcing the agreement, the UK Science Minister Amanda Solloway said: “The signing of today’s Space Bridge partnership, a world’s first, with one of our closet international allies, is another step forward in our ambition for the UK to become a globally-competitive space power.” “The bond will allow our most innovative space businesses and universities to collaborate and share best practice more effectively than ever. I’m excited to see how this partnership will unlock new space jobs in both.”
