The Space total spend on equipment costs by financial year is as follows:

FY

Total spend (million)

2021-22

£8.511

2022-23

£13.786

The Space delivery team total spend on operating costs by financial year is as follows:

FY

Total spend (million)

2021-22

£2.421

2022-23

The Space team, which was stood up in March 2021, is a specific project team in DE&S and the figures above represent the total spend of that team. The figure does not represent the total spend on all space projects across Defence.
