| Event Description: | 7.30pm The presentation will introduce the principles behind satellite navigation, show how the UK is helping to steer the Galileo programme through its development phases, and explain why having multiple satellite navigation systems is a good idea. The talk will also describe some of the novel and surprising ways in which satellite navigation signals will be exploited in the future. Dr Stuart Eves is Lead Mission Concepts Engineer for the Defence and Space division of Airbus. The highlight of Stuart’s career to date was the initiation of the TopSat imaging satellite programme, which established a new world record for “resolution per mass of satellite”. Indeed, this mission was so successful that whilst the actual hardware was operating in orbit, the engineering model of the satellite formed part of the space gallery at the Science Museum in London. Stuart has an MSc in Astrophysics, a PhD in constellation design, and has been a Fellow of the UK’s Royal Astronomical Society for more than 20 years. In 2013, Stuart received the Arthur Clarke education and outreach award |
