This inclusive and diverse event covered an extensive range of topics around the theme of Environments: monitoring the Earth's environment from space, understanding the existing impact of space systems on our environment, and simulating space environments and impacts.
The conference programme included speakers from RAL Space and the wider space community, a keynote address, panel discussions and networking opportunities.
We were pleased to run this event alongside the 17th Appleton Space Conference, which took place on Thursday 2nd December.
