Veterans in Space: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into UK Space‑Industry Careers

Introduction Space is no longer the exclusive domain of superpowers—it’s a booming commercial arena. The 2024 UK Space Sector Report values the domestic industry at £17.5 billion, with the Government’s National Space Strategy committing £1.4 billion to launch sites, secure communications, and next‑generation navigation constellations.

Military veterans bring mission focus, security clearance, and technical prowess—qualities the space sector craves.
