Claire chatted to Mini Rai from Orbit Rise about orbital and planetary robots. Mini Rai is the founding Director of Orbit Rise Ltd and an honorary Professor at the University of Lincoln. Previously, she was the Global Chair in Robotic Engineering at the University of Lincoln and an Associate Professor at the Surrey Space Centre. Mini has over 27 years of research and innovation experience in Space Engineering and Technology. With deep-rooted expertise in robotics, automation, control and systems engineering, she has led a large and diverse portfolio of national and international programmes on space robotic missions, spanning orbital and planetary robotics.

Fragmentos de cohetes, satélites rotos, destornilladores y partículas de pintura: llevamos más de 50 años ensuciando la órbita cercana a la Tierra. Necesitamos soluciones para limpiar la peligrosa basura espacial.

This week, Matt contacted us asking "With three space missions currently converging on Mars how do the nations avoid orbital collisions? Do they share data, do they have transponders or space traffic control etc?". Katie King spoke with Chris Bridges, academic at Surrey Space Centre in the University of Surrey to find out how we keep our spacecraft from colliding.... Like this podcast?

In a conversation with SSPI's Robert Bell, Sir Martin Sweeting, Founder and Executive Chairman of Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL), talks about his early years,  the leadership lessons he learned, how he hires and what he has learned about leading a team bringing major innovations to market. Sir Martin launched SSTL in 1985 to exploit the commercial potential of Surrey's novel small satellites - initially with 4 employees and a capital of just £100. SSTL has grown now to 500 staff with an annual turnover of £100M and exports exceeding £700M. Sir Martin is also a Distinguished Professor at the University of Surrey, where he founded and chairs the Surrey Space Centre. Under Sir Martin’s guidance, the Surrey Space Centre has similarly expanded to around 100 researchers working across a wide range of multi-disciplinary space topics, with very close links to both SSTL and ASTRIUM for the sponsorship and exploitation of its research - demonstrating the real synergy of academic research and commercial exploitation. In recognition of his pioneering work on cost-effective spacecraft engineering, Sir Martin was appointed OBE in 1996 and awarded a Knighthood in the Queen's New Year’s Honours list in 2002.

In apertura voliamo all'Università del Surrey dove ci aspetta Guglielmo Aglietti, direttore del Surrey Space Centre, per parlare del progetto RemoveDEBRIS. Lo scopo è quello di raccogliere ed eliminare i principali detriti spaziali. Abbiamo chiesto a Guglielmo cosa hanno in mente. - Nella seconda parte di trasmissione apriamo il microfono a voi ascoltatori per chiedervi cosa ne pensate di Elon Musk e della sua auto mandata in orbita attorno a Marte con il Falcon Heavy. - News e segnalazioni in chiusura.

The Discussion: Enjoying dark skies at the National Trust, Paul’s astronomy outreach endeavours with Sirius Astronomy and predictions for the upcoming AstroCamp. The Tour: In this special episode, Ralph and Paul bring record from the Surrey Space Centre at the University of Surrey in Guildford. We tour this world leading centre of excellence for low cost satellite design and innovation and explain the sights and work being conducted in the Ground Station and laboratories from where 30 satellites have already been launched and many more are currently in design. The News: In the news we have the latest on the European Space Agency’s ambitious Rosetta spacecraft as it circularises its orbit around Comet Churyumov Gerasimenko; Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission to return pristine asteroid samples; watching asteroids colliding 1,000 light years away and yet another reminder of the asteroid lottery we’re playing. The 5 Minute Concept: Recording from the UK centre of satellite design and construction, what else should Paul be talking about this month, but the physics and history of satellites. The Interview: This month the seat is filled by the Surrey Space Centre’s Head of the Planetary Environments Group, Professor Craig Underwood as we discuss satellite innovation, the UK space industry and the future of space exploration. Q&A: Listeners’ questions via email, Facebook & Twitter take us on a journey into the astronomy issues that have always plagued our understanding or stretched our credulity. This month Ralph & Paul answer: I understand Jupiter has no solid mass inside, so how come it’s classed as a planet and stays planet shaped? Mike Joy from Wales via Facebook Can you guys successfully explain the proton-proton chain in under 20 seconds?? Vicky Dews, @Woozydewsy via Twitter
