We have had the most amazing time with five incredibly bright and intelligent young students this week when our Viasat Beyond: Space winners Ash Goldsmith, Krish Thakrar, Mesha Tennyson, Isabella Hughes and Amar Birring, joined us for the Viasat Sustainability Experience Week in London. From discovering how to build a satellite, hearing from Thomas Ormston and Simon Wood about the European Space Agency - ESA's Earth observation activities and Mars Express program, to coming up with concepts around sustainability initiatives for oil spills at sea, utilising our satellite network, it’s been a concentrated and full-on learning experience for them all. To top it off they visited Cranfield University's DARTeC center on Thursday when they had an opportunity to see the Passenger Experience Lab, watch a UAV demo, take a tour of the Digital Air Traffic Control Centre, Aerospace Integration Research Centre and Future Flight Simulator. What’s next from this inspiring bunch of 16-17-year-olds? More studies, university and then hopefully they will think about joining us for a career in satellite communications. The future of space is very bright indeed! 🛰️🚀 Special thanks to Viasat’s Mark Moravits and Asha Parmar for organizing the week and to our many colleagues who helped out.
