The Westcott Space Cluster is a growing nucleus of space-related companies developing new technologies in rocket propulsion, 5G communications, and in-orbit manufacturing to name a few. The site offers unique testing facilities in a secure and controlled environment where sector experts can help businesses to identify and benefit from the opportunities in these emerging fields.

The Expo, hosted in July this year, was a celebration and showcase of the organisations developing these next-generation technologies and building new opportunities for the UK space industry.

In this first episode, we’ll be sharing the Commercial Space panel – our guests explore the challenges and opportunities within the evolution of a new in-space economy and discuss how we can improve our access to space whilst ensuring our activities bring value back down to Earth.

This episode is introduced by our Chief Operating Officer, Lucy Edge. The panel is hosted by Mike Curtis-Rouse of the Satellite Applications Catapult, and he is joined by Chris Brunskill of D-Orbit, Alberto Garbayo of AVS UK, Matt Escott of Protolaunch, Talini Pinto of SpaceForge, Jeff Fiege of Radian Aerospace, and Armando Rojas of Nanoavionics, who joined the panel remotely.
