We recently celebrated the 50 years since the formation of European Space Agency . What an enormous success it has been and great benefit to Europeans. I was asked to celebrate this in an article for the The Conversation - theconversation.com/esa-at-50-how-…. Please read and share your thoughts.

A career highlight. Speaking in the same session as my daughter Jo (pictured) in the same session of the Habitable Worlds Observatory conference.

We had a great meeting on Habitable Worlds Observatory in Washington last week. It's exciting to be building a wide and supportive community in the UK. Thanks also UK Space Agency for getting behind this mission and leading the discussions on a possible UK role with NASA

The UK Space Agency and NASA are working closer than ever, opening new possibilities beyond Earth. 🌓 At the Habitable Worlds Observatory Conference, our Head of Space Science Dr Caroline Harper showcased the UK's ambition to lead an instrument on NASA's next-gen telescope. 🔭

This is great news. Congratulations Liz. It is always nice to see a local MP given an important job in government but particularly so when it is in area related to our core business.
