One week until #BPSCLeicester and we’re getting ready to welcome everyone to Space Park Leicester and National Space Centre. From micrometeorites to Giant Planets, we’re looking forward to showcasing brilliant British planetary science research! ☄️🪐

This time next week the #BPSCLeicester dinner event will be taking place at National Space Centre ✨A show at the UK's largest domed planetarium with dinner to follow and a chance to explore the exhibitions after hours...🤩 Space Park Leicester

We’re busy getting ready to welcome everyone to #BPSCLeicester tomorrow…poster boards going up and presentations being finalised! Our team will be wearing BPSC polo shirts and ready to help you out throughout the conference ☄️🌟

Space Park Leicester This morning we enjoyed talks from Sue Horne (ex-UKSA), Adrian Martindale (UoL), Piyal Samara-Ratna (SPL) and John Holt (SPL) on getting your project to space and several case studies of projects from our own Space Park Leicester

Some photos from our brilliant poster session and talks throughout the day, thanks to all of our delegates so far for sharing your exciting planetary science work! #BPSCLeicester Space Park Leicester 🛰️🪐🌍

We’d like to extend our thanks to all of the sponsors and partners of #BPSCLeicester. Our evening poster sessions were generously sponsored by Royal Astronomical Society and Europlanet 🇪🇺. This gave many ECRs a chance to present at their first conference, hopefully with many more to come!
