The space industry is not just for astronauts - it takes a wide variety of people and skills to make space missions and projects successful.
Year 7 - 9 students, parents and teachers are invited to join a free Zoom webinar on Tuesday 9th March at 10.30am, where you will learn about some of the careers available to young people in the space industry, what people do in their jobs day-to-day, what skills they use, their journey from school to their current job, and where schools can find more support. You will also have the opportunity to ask your own questions to our space team.
Speakers from RAL Space will share stories of their different career paths and explain their projects which involve innovating for the future, for example:
- Katherine is a thermal engineer who is investigating how to use space technology to help reduce food waste in India;
- Angela is a technician with a background in arts and crafts, now using her creative skills to make space blankets;
- Mario is a space weather scientist, looking at the phenomena that cause the spectacular auroras (the Northern Lights).
