Iterating SpaceCRAFT

SpaceCRAFT is currently at version 1, but it will continue to evolve to adapt to the needs of the sector. We expect it to change rapidly over the next few years, and then stabilise it and the sector matures. Our current plan is to publish version 2 in Autumn 2023. We may publish minor changes before then.

On our immediate roadmap:

• Add more detail to explain competencies beyond the current high level descriptions
• Add levels to allow for recognition of different levels of experience and expertise
• Align with other frameworks like EO4GEO, SFIA, Skills Builder, and the space apprenticeship standards.

Change requests

We know the framework has gaps and needs improvements, so we welcome challenges to what’s currently included and suggestions for changes. Please email as at spacecraft@spaceskills.org with your suggestions.

Minor changes may be implemented immediately. Larger changes will be incorporated into the next version.
