The wait begins for all the various satellites and payloads from Surrey to contact home.... Over the next few hours and days we'll be monitoring as they get released and activated. Congrats to Surrey Satellites after making contact with KazSTSAT already! It's getting busy up there!

A nice round up of 2018 for the Remove Debris mission on BBC World Hacks today including an update on the visual based navigation experiment. Always a pleasure to talk to N Holland from BBC News (World) Listen at: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3… @surreysat Surrey Media Team University of Surrey

The Remove Debris NET Experiment containing the student built University of Surrey DS1 Cubesat has lost almost 100km since deployment and is now at 300km altitude. Re-entry predictions current centre around March 4th. #racefromspace Surrey Space Centre #removedebris

Surreys REMDEB-NET now passing though 260km! Re-entry predicted 2nd March. The cubesat enclosed by the NET will be the first element of the #removedebris mission to re-enter and burn up in the atmosphere. #racefromspace @SpaceatSurrey

We're happy to announce the successful deployment of two Surrey Space Centre designed and built drag sails for Spaceflight SSO-A mission!

The two SSO-A sails launched in December and are deorbiting the two large Spaceflight deployment platforms known as Upper and Lower Free Flyers which deployed the 64 satellites on their record setting mission. Here's a link to their mission video spaceflight.com/wp-content/upl…

Both SSO-A sails are relatively large for a drag sail with an area of 16m3 each. After being automatically deployed 24 hours after launch, both radar and visual observations have confirmed their successful deployment.

Always nice to use our facilities to support AARISS contacts, allowing young students to talk directly to astronauts working in space. Nice clear signal today, fantastic! Surrey WP & Outreach University of Surrey

The RemoveDEBRIS mission (Harpoon/Net) is a finalist for the Small Satellite Mission of the Year! Please take a look and VOTE at tinyurl.com/yxmwhmsx for this world first, innovative mission that pushed the boundaries of space tech! #Smallsat2019 University of Surrey Surrey Media Team

I saw that @theemmys posted a photo of me "In Memoriam" rather than the intended Andre Previn. Andre deserved better. I had the opportunity to introduce him when he received the KennedyCenterHonors. Perhaps he was paying me back for a couple stories I told about him. Andre, R.I.P.

Prof G Aglietti from Surrey Space Centre, will be presenting our novel deployable telescope for earth observation at 10:45EST today in Room 152B at @IAC2019

Today, Surrey Space Centre will be presenting the flight results from the #RemoveDEBRIS mission at the #IAC2019! 14:45 Room 150B. We also have the harpoon test target and a SQM of Debrisat 2 on our display! Come and see us on stand 126! University of Surrey Surrey Satellites Airbus

Today Dr Ben Taylor presented a paper detailing University of Surrey drag sail technology from its 1st demonstration on the Inflatesail Mission to the recent commercial SSO-A mission. Come to stall 126 to see a demo version. #IAC2019 youtu.be/nZ1UEW42P54 #spacedebris Surrey Space Centre

Today at #IAC2019DC we are presenting a Paper “Towards Robotic On-Orbit Assembly of Large Space Telescopes”, jointly with Surrey Space Centre - Session D1.6 at 13:30 IAF

We are delighted that that the RemoveDEBRIS team has won the 2019 #SirArthurClarkeAward for space achievement by a project team. Congrats to all our partners. #spaceoscars University of Surrey Surrey Satellites Airbus Space Surrey Space Centre Stellenbosch University ArianeGroup CSEM ISISPACE Group
