In keeping with this theme we are delighted that Professor Sir Martin Sweeting, a world renowned expert on satellites from the Surrey Space Centre will be giving his talk on small satellites. Sir Martin Sweeting’s visionary leadership, satellite expertise, ambition and drive has brought the overheads involved in space exploration, down to earth.
