Experts report that in the coming years, leaving the EU will have a negative impact on Britain on a number of issues. In terms of space research, the country risks losing the project on the prevention of the entry of space debris (EUSST). The program was created in 2014 and was intended to warn of any space debris that pose a threat to satellites or falling to Earth. That is, if the parties do not find a common language in the briefing, Britain will be removed from the project, and it will stop receiving assistance (even informational).

Fortunately, Britain can get support from space-providing Americans. Now in the British center contains a warning about the fragmentation of space debris, but it is not clear what will happen after the final exit from the EU.

Experts are worried that the UK will close access to the world's most advanced research. These areas provide thousands of high-tech jobs and bring billions into the country's economy. Therefore, contrary to the opinion of Theresa May, the exit from the EU for Britain can serve as a mini-end of the world.
There is also a fear that the country will have to start projects from scratch, although European colleagues will have advanced developments and completed programs. You may have to say goodbye to space initiatives such as the Copernicus satellite system and the Galileo navigation system.
