The International Space Innovation CentreOverview
Barbara GhinelliExecutive Chair, ISIC &Harwell Space Cluster Lead
Space – A growth market UK Space Agency strategy – focus on growth Global Space market predicted to be >4 times larger by 2030
85% of this growth will come from downstream applications How do we:
Engage and inspire downstream sectors? Ensure positive links between up- and downstream?
Industry-led Space Innovation & Growth Strategy recommended the formation of ISIC to
foster national and international collaboration and innovation promote the development of new Space applications & services
What is ISIC?
Independent not-for-profit organisation owned and run by its members
Member organisations (currently 15) are drawn from Industry, Academia and Government
ISIC has access to the wide range of skills, capabilities and facilities contained within its membership
Members work together within a badge-less environment to engage customers to capture requirements and identify new solutions
ISIC accelerates innovation by brokering new relationships and providing access to facilities
ISIC works in partnership with the UK Space Agency and UK Trade & Investment, promoting UK space-related organisations globally and showcasing UK capability to overseas companies and organisations looking to invest in the UK.

Overview of CEMS (Climate & Environmental Monitoring from Space)
• CEMS is an ISIC facility to enable innovative climate and environmental services to be developed, hosted and served to users- for use by public and private sector organisations in UK and internationally,
supporting excellent science and generating commercial revenues
• What is unique about CEMS?- It will make the data from satellites, ground and airborne sources accessible in
native & common formats- It will provide tools and information to ensure the integrity of the data –
science and commercial users will be able to rely on the information - It will provide a scalable model by hosting services and applications close to
very large quantities of source data- It will provide key data-sets in close proximity to cutting edge high
performance computing facilities
Examples of CEMS Users
European Space Agency – Calibration and Validation Service EUMETSAT – Image Processing Testbed Environment European Commission – Platform to Connect Data Repositories Logica – Crop Monitoring Service and Virtual Environment Service Astrium Geo-services – Data hosting and Processing Services National Physical Laboratory – Carbon Assets Data Integrity Project Vega – Sea Surface Temperature Data Integrity Project Technical University of Denmark – Ice Sheets Climate Products Magellium – Satellite Image Alignment Service RAL Space – Hosting of Environmental Data Centres National Centre for Earth Observation – Land Surface Temperature Demo UK Met Office – Open Data Platform InitiativeOngoing discussions with Google, Microsoft, Defence Customers
ISIC Emergency Response Centre Dealing with emergencies at sea
Extensive ocean infrastructure of pipelines, cables, platforms, hubs, shipping, offshore wind generators…etc.
Increased incidence of major accidents and incidents at sea• Explosions, Oil spills, Gas leaks, Collisions
ISIC ER to provide a common picture of weather and ocean, offering:• Training • Emergency Response • Evaluation and Forensic Analysis
In house resources:• Meteorological and oceanographic models & (NRT) satellite observations of
wind, waves currents, oil spills etc to get a common picture• Models to predict oil spill, gas leaks dispersion, vessel responses, search &
rescue,….• Coordination and Communication Centre to support operations

Oil Spill Information System Outputs
• GIS-based outputs showing slick trajectory, spread and contours of thickness or dispersed concentrations
• Status panels showing spill volume, viscosity, flash point
• Beaching locations
• On screen graphs track history of volumes, viscosity, flash point
