James Greer from Airbus gave us a fascinating and enlightening talk about the company and its commercial predecessors which have been building launchers / satellites from the Stevenage site since the 1960s. We learnt about early projects and commercial telecommunication satellites as well as science and space exploration missions including the current programmes in build like Biomass and the Mars Lander. A varied range of questions from our audience provided an interesting ending to this stimulating talk.
