AEROSPACE WALES FORUM
World Class Expertise In Engineering Materials
Ambitions in Space We already have a lot going on, but we have some wonderful ambitions, for example: Spaceflight Academy’s vision is to be the world’s leading commercial Spaceflight and aeromedical training provider, motivated by a belief that human factor aeromedical issues associated with commercial space travel and tourism for the public are no less important than the technological challenges of sending people into space. Their planned facilities will include a campus building designed to be an impressive gateway attraction for visitors to Spaceport Snowdonia. Port Talbot Space Centre: anchored by the sea-borne launch operator Black Arrow Space Technologies, the space centre is developing plans for a space centre with educational reach-out facilities as well as services for space related businesses.
into the future (over the long term) through integration of earth observation data, supportive ground measurements and process models. Environment Systems, an Aberystwyth based data company, launched their Satellite Data Services in 2017. This cloud-based platform delivers near real time, always-on metrics, to support agricultural supply chains and environmental monitoring natural capital assessments. In 2020, Environment Systems Data Services processed and analysed over 400 million sq.km of satellite Earth observation imagery around the world. Test and Evaluation facilities: Further to the T&E facilities already established in Wales, Newton Launch Systems, based at Spaceport Snowdonia, develop innovative technologies to support space launch and operations, and to provide test and evaluation services to other SMEs and universities pursuing similar objectives.
