by Olivia Savage

SSTL was awarded a contract in January 2022 to deliver a satellite for project Minerva. A total of GBP127 million is being invested in the Minerva programme over a four-year period, ensuring the UK has the processing power, radio frequencies, imaging capabilities, and data streams to deliver timely intelligence.

A UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) test satellite – Project Tyche – will launch in 2024 as part of project Minerva, the Head of Space Capability at UK Space Command, Commodore Dave Moody, told Janes on 25 May.

Tyche is a 150 kg research and development (R&D) concept demonstrator satellite being built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) for project Minerva under a GBP22 million (USD27.3 million) contract. The system, initially scheduled to launch in 2023, is based on the company's Carbonite family of electro-optical (EO) satellites.

Tyche will be the first in a network of satellites being built under project Minerva, with an invitation to tender issued in April 2023 for the design and manufacture of an EO satellite called Juno. A total of GBP40 million was earmarked for the three-and-a-half-year supporting project.
