The Space North area is home to a wide range of companies and organisations involved in growing the space sector. These range from newer companies such as Inotech Solutions through to more established companies such as MDA, Filtronic, Kratos, and Telespazio.
It also includes universities which help drive forward research and innovation. Examples of what these organisations deliver include Satixfy which in 2023 sold its space services arm to MDA, which have since gone on to win major contract awards such as for the Telesat Lightspeed constellation. Filtronic have been pioneering the use of high frequency wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum (commonly referred to as Q/V bands) which are now becoming available for commercial use. Developing the technologies needed to access these wavelengths is highly specialised and with support through the UK Space Agency and ESA, Filtronic are emerging as leaders in this field.
