The UK Space Agency is seeking ideas for new science experiments using commercial sub-orbital flights. This will help the Agency understand potential future demand from the science community for such platforms and scope the advantages, constraints, costs and other factors. All information received will inform government decisions regarding if and how to support work in this area.

The Agency will review submissions and consider inviting some to conduct full industrial studies, to better understand the constraints, feasibility and costs of building a full flight experiment.

    That’s the problem right there. They go ahead and develop a sub-orbital
    microgravity capability without doing basic market research.No business should ask their customers “what can we do with this thing?”
