The Science and Technology Facilities Council supports astronomy, physics and space science through research funding and access to large scientific facilities.

Its scope combines national laboratory operations with participation in international scientific infrastructure. ESA concentrates on intergovernmental space programs, while the council also supports physics and astronomy research and access to national facilities.
