Many of the systems and services that we, as ordinary citizens, use daily depend directly or indirectly on space. The space industry is no longer just about sending astronauts to the moon. The environment, agriculture, mining, meteorology and communications are just some of the industries that have interests in how space systems and technology can be applied.

We have a long history in space systems, having undertaken space studies since the 1960s.

Our expertise is broad and includes:

  • Sensor Technology – for example, the use of bio-sensors in extreme environments and for life detection.

  • Precision Engineering – manufacture of ultra-precise surfaces for satellites with high quality mirrors and telescopes. 

  • Sustainable Space Systems – minimising space debris in orbit through innovative solutions.

  • Earth Observation – visible, infrared and radar
