UK Space Operations Centre
The UK Space Operations Centre, based at RAF High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, monitors the space domain 24/7, seeking to protect, defend, and assure access to the on-orbit assets and dependencies of the UK and its allies. The UK Space Operations Centre is also defence’s command and control unit for space, where personnel collate, analyse, and assess space information to support UK and allied military forces.
The military element of the UK Space Operations Centre is delivered by No.1 Space Operations Squadron. Military space analysts work side by side with civilian space analysts from the UK Space Agency to monitor the safety of UK satellites and track orbital events.
