COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, July 21, 2026 Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Space ISAC) is pleased to announce Astroscale as Co-Chair, alongside CGI, for the Space ISAC UK Hub. This significant development is set to have an immediate impact on the UK global community.
The objective of the UK Global Hub is to bring together trusted government, industry, academia, and critical infrastructure partners to strengthen the cyber resilience of the global space ecosystem while connecting directly to the trusted Space ISAC network.
According to Nick Shave, UK Managing Director of Astroscale, “We are delighted to join CGI as co-chair of Space ISAC UK. Through our work in Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO), Astroscale has built extensive in-orbit experience in understanding the space environment, assessing risk and developing the capabilities needed to operate safely and responsibly in orbit. That experience has given us a practical understanding of the vulnerabilities facing space systems and the importance of identifying and mitigating them before they become significant challenges.
“We look forward to bringing that experience to the Space ISAC UK community, working alongside industry and government to increase awareness of emerging orbital risks, share lessons learned, and strengthen collaboration across the sector. By improving our collective understanding of vulnerabilities and threats in orbit, we can help build a more resilient space ecosystem and support the long-term sustainability of space activities.”
Erin Miller, Executive Director of Space ISAC, underscored the importance of Astroscale’s leadership and expertise. “As an industry leader in on-orbit servicing, Astroscale brings valuable experience and perspective that will strengthen the UK Global Hub’s work to advance collaboration, resilience, and security across the space sector.”
Looking ahead, Space ISAC, CGI and Astroscale are eager to leverage this collaborative opportunity. Together, we aspire to collaborate across the global space industry to enhance our ability to prepare for and respond to vulnerabilities, incidents, and threats; to disseminate timely and actionable information among member entities; and to serve as the primary communications channel for the sector with respect to this information. This milestone will serve as a catalyst to harness momentum and fuel further progress in the UK global community.
