The need for an Inclusive Space Sector - a Student Perspective
2020
The UK Space Agency aims for the sector to
account for 10% of the global sector by 2030. This target cannot
be achieved without growing the workforce to support the sector,
which will require removing barriers to accessibility for underrepresented minorities, making the sector inclusive for all.
UKSEDS is working to ensure that its own practices are inclusive;
this paper presents UKSEDS inclusivity initiatives and
demographic data, including ethnicity, gender and sexual
orientation. Comparisons are made to workforces from the space
and other sectors, and overall, delegates at the National Student
Space Conference (NSSC) are more diverse.
