Great to celebrate Professor Mark Sims’ 70th birthday last week with friends and colleagues 🎂 From space missions to shaping @SpaceParkLeic — Mark’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary. Here’s to a lifetime of discovery & impact 🚀 #SpaceParkCommunity #UKSpace




A brilliant visit to @SpaceParkLeic from leaders at @spacegovuk & @SciTechgovuk. From @uniofleicester-built instruments on missions to Mercury, to future ambitions around space exploration and habitability, the conversation was firmly focused on what comes next for UK space.





UK innovation is heading to space! 🚀 The UK-built @ESA HydroGNSS mission - built by @SurreySat and funded by us - will investigate the Earth’s water cycle by tracking soil moisture & flooding using GNSS signals. 🛰️ Launch is set for tonight at 6:18pm 👉spacex.com/launches/trans…
