Careers in the Space sector: Beyond Astronomer & Astronaut 

When many of us think of jobs in the space sector we don’t get any further than Astronaut and Astronomer, but there are a huge range of roles in the Space sector, many of which do not even require a background in Science! The aerospace industry in the United Kingdom is the second largest in the world, and the UK government sees the space sector as a huge growth area for the economy. However, if we are to build on our current success and become one of the world leaders in Space Science, we need to fill the current skill gap which effects half of all space organisations and will only grow as the sector expands. From Space lawyers to Planetary Geologists, Artists to System Engineer, we need you to build the future of the UK space sector.
