Thursday 30th May – Pre Workshop Tour – Harwell Space Cluster
There are limited places available for the tour, and booking will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.
A coach will take us from London to Harwell and back on the day, and the price of transport and lunch is all included, so there’s nothing to worry about!
On the day before the workshop begins, we will be embarking on a tour to the Harwell Campus and visit some of the most important space facilities and companies in the UK. The Harwell Space Cluster is one of the different technology clusters on campus, hosting 89 space organisations employing 950 professionals.
The Harwell Space Cluster is the gateway to the UK space sector and benefits from the presence of leading public space organisations, including the European Space Agency, RAL Space, Satellite Applications Catapult and UK Space Agency. Harwell is also home to the Science & Technology Facilities Council, with over £2 billion of infrastructure for both public and private research and development.
Global space companies such as Airbus Defence & Space, Lockheed Martin and Thales Alenia Space have established a presence at Harwell, with activities ranging from the design of propulsion subsystems to satellite navigation systems. These are joined by a range of SMEs from start-ups in the European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre to rapidly growing companies such as Oxford Space Systems, Deimos Space UK, Rezatec and Neptec.
