National Space Day, observed on the first Friday of May each year, invites us to celebrate humanity’s forays into the unknown and acknowledge the impressive progress of science and the wonders that await beyond the limits of our atmosphere.

British Science Week, observed this year between the 10th-19th March, celebrates UK technological advancements and how science improves our everyday lives, helping to inspire the next generation of scientists.

A new Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (SIT) has been formed to drive UK innovation, following Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s cabinet reshuffle.

Exobotics, the UK satellite firm lowering the barriers to entry to space, has won a multi-million-pound customer contract from advanced materials specialist Quantum Generative Materials (GenMat) to construct a high-precision, remote sensing prospecting satellite.

Exobotics and Simera Sense are collaborating to engineer and integrate a cutting-edge hyperspectral imager into one of their nano-satellite platforms, due to be launched into low-Earth orbit later this year.
