Space was designated part of the UK Critical National Infrastructure (There are 13 CNI sectors in total) in 2015.

These services are a key part of life in modern society, but often deeply embedded so that many users do not recognise their space dependencies.

As the CNI Lead Government Department for space the UKSA needs to understand what the critical assets and services within the sector and require study on the dependencies on space-based assets and services across the UK CNI sectors.
