Description
In the 90’s, the UK was involved in ESA’s Microgravity Research programme, but decided not to participate in the subsequent ISS Development Programme. Nor is it participating in the ISS Exploitation Programme. The UK is now revisiting this decision and is currently assessing joining the ESA European Life and Physical Science Programme (ELIPS), the ESA programme for the Utilisation of ISS.
