Materials in Space is Rocket Science

In this lively and engaging talk, Mike Lawton, Founder and ex-CEO of Oxford Space Systems, will profile some of the company’s innovative and record-breaking satellite technologies. This ranges from proprietary flexible composites to large deployable antennas; all designed to survive the challenges of long-term storage, rocket launch and the harsh environment of Earth’s orbit. Mike will cover the engineering and material compromises needed to strike a balance between technical performance and the cost and schedule challenges of the so-called, commercial New Space industry. The highly visual talk will feature video of OSS technology on orbit, including the test firing of the world’s first ‘space harpoon’ system for debris removal.
