Earth Observation (EO) science is fundamental to humanitys understanding of our planet, and EO services support around 4.7% of the UKs Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The UK Space Agency launched its Centre for EO Instrumentation (CEOI) programme in 2007 to deliver an EO Instrumentation Programme (EOIP) to maintain and grow UK capability in low Technology-Readiness-Level (TRL) EO instrumentation. The EOIP was later expanded into the EO Technology Programme (EOTP) with an additional 15 million up to March 2025 to develop innovative EO satellite instrumentation to maintain the UKs position at the forefront of EO capability and expertise.
