Having reached initial operating capability in April, the Commander of UK Space Command, Air Vice-Marshal Paul Godfrey, outlined the command's future plans.

In relation to project ‘MINERVA', AVM Godfrey said at Defence Space 2022 in London that the next set of satellites would be procured by the end of 2022, for launch in 2024. The new systems will further explore on-orbit processing and will have the capability to task other satellites and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) assets, he said.

Project ‘TYCHE', the first satellite procured under ‘MINERVA' in April, will have an electro-optical payload and onboard processing to automatically categorise information in orbit, he said.

‘MINERVA' – an operational concept demonstrator – will be the foundation for the development of a network of satellites for ISR purposes that will integrate space with land, air, sea, and cyber.
