😎 And that’s a Space-Comm Expo Scotland wrap! 🤩 Niparo was delighted, excited and inspired after the Space-Comm Scotland Expo in Glasgow this week. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧So, so impressive the quality and quantity of effort in the UK space sector in general and the Scottish Space Sector in particular. 🎉 So much going on that it would be basically impossible to mention everyone and everything, but Niparo did want to have a special wee shout out to: ⚖ DLA Piper for inviting Niparo and Founder Dr. Nic Ross to be a panelist as part of inaugural #SpaceLaw #Symposium. 👩🚀 Star Helix Ltd who are leading on the way with deep insight and folks to really keep an aye on 🚀 Thistle Rocketry who are developing scalable propulsion and launch systems and pushing the new rocket tech to its limits. ☄ Aphelion Industries who are pioneering novel technologies to counter the present and future risks to the orbital environment, which of course is so badly needed already. ♻ AstroAgency (I'm biased!) but continue to not only advocate tirelessly for a strong, sustainable space sector but actually take and make direct action happen. 🏆 Stellar Space Marketing & PR engaging industry leaders and deeply understanding the future horizon opportunities and how we make key progress 🌎 Scottish Space Network looking to foster growth, innovation, and collaboration and directly realise that the next stage is to look outside of space for the space sector to grow into its full potential. 💫 These are only a few of the really great efforts leading to novel research, true innovation and solving hard problems that are happening right now. And Niparo salutes them all and will be back later with further shout outs! #spacescotland #Innovation #NewSpace #Spacenetwork

Newquay to Lisbon! Tomorrow I will be at a roundtable hosted by the European Space Agency - ESA at The The Economist Space Economy Summit in Lisbon. We’ll explore how space innovation can address some of humanity’s greatest challenges—social, economic, and environmental. From inspiring young people, particularly girls, to pursue STEM careers, to leveraging satellite technologies for economic growth, this conversation is about harnessing space as a force for good. However - we can only achieve this if space is kept secure and safe. We need to safeguard our assets in space so they can continue to safeguard us here on planet Earth. (Enter Slingshot Aerospace !) Let’s connect if you are attending, share this vision or are curious about how Slingshot is supporting this mission.

ENLIGHTEN project will be presented during next #iac2024! Join to see the progress of advanced technologies in the field of #propulsionsystems 🚀
