The UK Space Agency’s SatelLife Challenge is looking for innovative proposals that have the potential to use data collected from space to benefit our economy, health or the environment.

Open to young people aged 11 to 22, the challenge offers expert advice for their ideas and a share of a £50,000 prize.

Ideas from last year’s competition ranged from solutions to help increase the survival rate of heart attack victims by using GPS trackers in fitness devices, to an app that warns people about impending natural disasters, guides them safely away and alerts emergency services.

The UK space industry builds 40 per cent of the world’s small satellites and 25 per cent of the world’s telecommunications satellites. It supports 40,000 jobs and generates £14 billion in revenue across the country.
