One of the first engineers to work on Spacelab Alan Thirkettle talks hosts Ally and Stephen through the unexpected challenges and memorable moments of building a science laboratory for space.

This unique European-built research facility flew inside NASA's Space Shuttle. It enabled the first flight of a non-American astronaut on a NASA spacecraft in 1983. It also paved the way for ESA's current laboratory on the International Space Station and the future of research in space.

ESA Explores Time and Space: building a Spacelab

Producer,Dj,Audio Engineer,Sound Designer...
I'm fortunate enough to love what I do.

I've been fond of music since early in the school, years later I have collaborated with other professionals and created Omicrone Project.

Next I decided to offer my sound mixing, mastering and producing experience to the folks who need it, and founded OP Masterting. I also offer ghost producing!

At the very beginning it was limited to our offline contacs, but soon after this I have brought OP Mastering on-line, and now everybody can benefit from our competitive services.

I am always happy to help if I can. Let's connect. http://opmastering.com
