The Spaceflight Team within the Department for Transport (DfT) is looking to inform the procurement of the following:
- Upper Insurance and Liability Caps; informing policy options for setting upper caps on UK spaceflight launch insurance and liability by assessing the likely upper insurance requirements for a range of launches from potential launch sites in the UK to inform development of policy options for setting future launch operator liability and insurance.
- Re-entry Risk; assessing the risk to civil aviation from re-entry debris arising from spacecraft and launch vehicle debris through a rapid, feasibility study to understand the benefits of tracking space debris during re-entry and modelling its destructive entry to address the issue of how Government can better gauge the potential safety risk to civil aviation (aircraft and airports) in the UK from space debris generated following the launch stage and life expired satellites.
We are publishing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) seeking feedback from suppliers to establish the current capabilities, capacities, and appetite of the market in relation to these two workstreams. Additional information: This is a PIN with a Questionnaire for suppliers to submit feedback, which will inform the potential procurement relating to UK launch insurance policy and assessing risk to civil aviation from re-entry debris arising from UK spacecraft and launch vehicle debris.
