Great article by GregoryReporting about the fantastic Pertyon Space students, who've worked hard to have a great year. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Great to be working with you on this, HSDC Alton!

Microwaves are for the Moon, not just for kitchens! We're working with The Open University on this fantastic project. Check out the blog! ⬇️

Pop by the Surrey Space Centre stand at #ESWW2024 this afternoon. Unfortunately I can't be there, by my colleagues will demonstrate our new SAIRA radiation instruments and our model MAIRE+

These payload module trays will help us fit 5 payloads of the #Jovian-1 satellite into 1 platform. It’ll let us remove single payloads during testing rather than all 5 and was designed by a @UniofSurrey student!

Scientists in India have reported the “first significant result” from Aditya-L1, the country’s first solar observation mission in space. I spoke to an astrophysicist to explain what it is and what makes it so significant BBC News India bbc.com/news/articles/…

The Jovian-1 mission takes a giant leap forward as we’ve received the satellite platform from GomSpace! It will contain and power the 5 payloads being built by the University of Surrey, University of Southampton, University of Portsmouth, students from the 3 unis & AMSAT-UK #JUPITER Space South Central

Ready to build a satellite? We are! We’ve unpacked our @gomspacegroup satellite platform for our Jovian-1 mission in our clean room. Next we’ll start checking comms. @uniofsurrey University of Southampton University of Portsmouth AMSAT-UK Space South Central #JUPITER
