The UK Space Agency has announced a £20m funding pot for drone projects, which will be available for companies working on aerial connectivity, such as drones delivering medical supplies and providing dedicated connectivity for emergency services. The funding is part of the European Space Agency's Advanced Research in Telecommunications Services programme, and applications can be filed under three categories: drones, high-altitude platform stations and high-altitude long endurance. The funding follows £50m in ARTES funding announced in January, which was available for firms developing new satellite constellations, the ground systems needed to access them, or whole end-to-end systems.
