Contract vs Permanent Space Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

From small satellite launches to deep‑space exploration, the UK space industry is soaring to new heights. Innovations in rocket propulsion, Earth observation, satellite communications, and space debris management have created a thriving job market—ranging from satellite engineers and mission analysts to business development leads and regulatory experts. Yet, with so many emerging roles, professionals often wonder which type of employment—day‑rate contracting, fixed-term (FTC), or permanent positions—delivers the best pay and most favourable career conditions. In this blog post, we delve into the pros, cons, and earning potential of each employment format. We also provide sample take‑home pay scenarios to illustrate how annual income can differ when working as a self‑employed contractor vs. on an FTC or in a permanent role. If you are contemplating your next move in this exciting sector, read on to discover the key factors that will help you determine whether contract or permanent space jobs are more lucrative in 2025—and how each path aligns with your long‑term career goals.

Thales Alenia Space Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Building Europe’s Next‑Generation Satellites & Lunar Gateways

From pressurised modules orbiting the Moon to broadband mega‑constellations 1,200 km above Earth, Thales Alenia Space (TAS) sits at the heart of Europe’s space ambitions. A joint venture between Thales (67 %) and Leonardo (33 %), TAS employs more than 8,500 people across 17 sites—with growing hubs in Bristol and the Harwell Space Cluster. The firm is lead contractor for Europe’s IRIS² secure‑connect constellation (green‑lit in 2024) and supplies modules for NASA/ESA’s Lunar Gateway. Unsurprisingly, TAS has ramped up hiring: a quick scan of the Thales Alenia Space careers portal shows vacancies in systems engineering, RF payloads, AIT and mission operations. Whether you are a UK graduate dreaming of building communications payloads, a thermal engineer keen to keep lunar habitats at room temperature, or a programme manager itching to deliver the next Copernicus Earth‑observation satellite, this guide explains how to land a Thales Alenia Space job in 2025.
