How can space science missions advance science, drive innovation and create a vibrant UK space industry?

  • April 30, 2025 5:30 PM - 5:30 PM
  • The Royal Society and online

The UK science community have played a central role in space science missions over several decades, and the UK was a founder member of the European Space Agency (ESA), which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025.  What has been the scientific impact of the UK's leading role in space science missions over the last decades? And how has our expertise in space science fed through to the UK's dynamic and growing space industry sector?
