UK/Australia Space Bridge

In February 2021, Australia signed an agreement with the UK to form a Space Bridge strengthening ties between our two countries.

The Space Bridge Framework Arrangement focuses on areas such as:

  • Government-to-government collaboration on space programs and technology

  • Trade and investment, including commercial contracts and collaboration

  • Research and education

For this livestream, I will be speaking with Tracy Thompson the Chair of Open Universities Space Society.

We will be discussing:

  • Her journey to set up the OU Space Society: from Plastics Engineer to society chair

  • What the space bridge might mean in terms of research and education between Australia and the UK

  • How her other interests in fusion energy and forensic science/criminology have shaped her new interest in Astronomy and Planetary Science During the livestream

Q&A will be available in the chat window so you can ask any questions you might have!
