Rise and Design: Opportunities in Space
Seminar (Sedgefield and Online) by Innovate UK EDGE North · Past · Free
Space is much closer than you think, and there are a host of possibilities to be had from the use of data, information and images gathered from the hundreds of satellites orbiting the earth.
