Well done to our Space Science & Technology MSc students University College Dublin UCD Physics on completing Space Mission Design in Tenerife with our colleagues at the Universities of Southampton Physics & Astronomy and La Laguna. Special thanks to PhD student Cuán & our former colleague Robert!

We had a very early start yesterday (6am) to kick off the annual UCD Physics Astronomy field trip with our final year astro students. Loads of excitement visiting the large telescopes and walking through the tunnels to avoid the extreme cold/snow/wind when coming back at 3am

Ahead of the “Scotland-Ireland Space: Growing the Space Economy Together” event in UCD tomorrow (Thurs) Professors Lorraine Hanlon and Prof Malcolm Macdonald ⊕ will speak to Pat Kenny Newstalk at 9.25am about how the successful Scottish space industry could point the way for Ireland.

.UCD Physics seeks to appoint two Technical Officers to support the practical elements of the School's programmes, including those relevant to the MSc in Space Science and Technology. Closing date 6th March. Details here:

✨At CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, scientists accelerate beams of protons close to the speed of light, and smash them together to uncover fundamental truths about our universe.

📷Analysis of the collisions requires incredibly powerful 3-D cameras, or detectors, capable of

Very excited (as an engineer!) to visit CERN today in support of the plan for Irish membership. Pictured with Aoife McGarry, long-standing CERN champion in Ireland Prof Ronan McNulty of UCD Physics, and University College Dublin researchers at CERN past & present.

Tomorrow we will be hosting our annual TY online event where we will showcase some of the research we do in different areas of Physics. If you have not registered yet, come join us! ucd-ie.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Ireland’s first satellite in space launches successfully, with signal picked up in Co Donegal irishtimes.com/ireland/2023/1…

This wee box, packed with experiments, is both Irish and in space! Congratulations to the EIRSAT-1 team!

With Bas of the EIRSAT-1 team at the Kerry ground station in the stunning setting of Dún Chaoin. All still overjoyed following yesterday’s successful launch.
