The British National Space Centre (BNSC) is a British government body that coordinates civil space activities. It operates as a voluntary partnership of ten British government departments and agencies and research councils. The civil portion of the British space programme focuses on space science, Earth observation, satellite telecommunications, and global navigation (for example GPS and Galileo.) Rather than being a full space agency as maintained in some other countries, the BNSC consists of around fifty civil servants on rotation from other government departments. Much of Britain's yearly space budget of £207 million was contributed by the Department of Trade and Industry (until the DTI was broken up in 2007) or controlled by the partnership rather than the BNSC, and over half of that budget flows directly to the European Space Agency.[3] The BNSC claims credit for the UK space industry, but has no direct control over partnerships or industry budgets. The budget for BNSC headquarters is approximately US$1 million.[4] The agency is headquartered in Westminster at the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (a successor of the DTI), where it falls under the authority of science minister Ian Pearson.[5][6]
