	UK Space Agencies
		During the 1960's the UK was an early and active participant in space activities, fielding its first national satellite in 1962 and conducting its first (and only) space launch in 1971.
		However, for a variety of reasons, support for space programs in the UK has waned steadily for the past two decades, and current funding is concentrated on Earth observation science and data processing.
		British Aerospace Space Systems Ltd. specialized in scientific spacecraft, communications, and satellite subsystems, while Matra Marconi Space UK, formed in 1990 along with Matra Marconi Space France during the merger of Matra Espace and Marconi Space Systems, is a complete space system and ground station design and manufacturing firm.
