To improve their space-related collaboration, the UK Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency have signed an enhanced memorandum of understanding (MoU). The new agreement will build on the initial MoU signed in 2021 and will focus on areas such as space policy, standards, and regulations.

The signing ceremony took place during the 39th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The event, which is held annually, brings together space leaders from around the world to discuss future space exploration plans and strategies.

Dr. Paul Bate, UK Space Agency CEO, emphasized the importance of the partnership, stating, “The renewal of the MoU with our Canadian colleagues will bring further significant benefits to the thriving space industries of the UK and Canada, allowing us to continue achieving our goals in space through collaborative efforts in research and innovation.”

Bate added that Canada is a key partner for the UK in space exploration, and he expressed confidence that the bilateral relationship between the two nations will continue to strengthen their space sectors.

The enhanced MoU will provide a more comprehensive framework for collaboration in a number of areas, including space policy and regulations. It will also facilitate the exchange of information and technology on space-related topics. In addition, the agreement aims to promote free and fair access to space for all.

The signing of the enhanced MoU is a significant milestone for the UK Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, and it is expected to further strengthen their space collaboration in the years to come. This new agreement will pave the way for future joint projects and collaborations in areas such as lunar exploration and space science.
