SSTL on the radio and TV

In the news

Dear Space Blog readers, we though you might want to tune in to SSTL on the radio as they discuss lunar exploration.

You can catch Dr Stuart Eves at 17:30 on BBC Southern Counties Radio 104 FM (in 4 minutes!) At the same time Sir Martin Sweeting is interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live

If you are in the North, BBC Radio Manchester is inteviewing Dr. Eves at 7am in the morning. We hope it's a live broadcast, it would make the early rise worthwhile!

That's all for now. The BBC link in the previous blog has a video player where last night's 10 o'clock news can be played back at your leisure, an interesting piece for UK space enthusiasts.

Sir Martin interviewed for BBC ten o clock news

Tuesday, January 9. 2007
In the news

Sir Martin is to be interviewed on the BBC's 10 o'clock news this evening (Tuesday 9/1/07), concerning the potential for a UK lunar mission.

The impetus for this was a 2 day workshop held in Edinburgh by key stakeholders culminating in a PPARC press conference tomorrow.

This interview takes place at a point when a number of people, not all confined to the space community are rethinking what role the country should have in space exploration (read Andrew Weston's informative article in The Space Review).

The engineering sector have concerns that the transfer of space and aerospace technology to other areas on engineering enjoyed at present could cease to exist if the UK Space industry is starved of cash.
