The company provided a range of services including parachuting, training, sales and rigging, rentals of Russian aircraft and a parachute display team. The company also offered a single design of powered parachute, the Sky Science PowerHawk. The prototype was registered in 2000, but removed from the register by the British Civil Aviation Authority in 2005, without any indication of further sales of the type.{{cite web|url=http://www.skyscience.co.uk/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001209203000/http://www.skyscience.co.uk/|title=Sky Science skydiving and parachute accessories and equipment sales|archive-date=9 December 2000|work=skyscience.co.uk|access-date=6 August 2015}}{{cite web|url = http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=detailnosummary&fullregmark=SSPP|title = GINFO Search Results Summary|access-date = 6 August 2015|last = Civil Aviation Authority (United Kingdom)|date = 6 August 2015}}
