Surrey Space

This is the home of the Surrey Space Institute – our new and ambitious, pan-university interdisciplinary hub. We’re channelling the expertise of the Surrey Space Centre – our world leading Centre of Excellence in Space Engineering – and its astonishingly successful spin-out, Surrey Satellite Technology Limited. Launched in 2025, the Surrey Space Institute harnesses forty-five years of Surrey satellite leadership to power bold, cross-disciplinary breakthroughs for today’s pressing challenges. Working across engineering, law, bioscience, AI and beyond, we build missions that safeguard Earth’s resources, shore up critical orbital infrastructure, and unlock new frontiers for explorers en route to the Moon, Mars and beyond. We work hand in hand with government, companies and universities, locally through Space South Central and through strong national and global partnerships, to push research from concept to orbit. By expanding Surrey’s renowned degrees, short courses and live mission opportunities, we cultivate the skilled minds that tomorrow’s space sector needs. Through our SpaceCraft programme, our doors are open to organisations including businesses and colleges who can use our facilities and expertise to create space-flight equipment and conduct space experiments. SpaceCraft also enables students and companies to develop practical engineering skills through training. Follow us to keep space resilient, hear of the latest space innovation and watch our launchpad for human discovery take shape. See the Surrey Space Centre website at
