With the recent return of Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, the UAE is taking its space missions very seriously and has ramped up the excitement for this new space race.

This is why the Director-General of the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre Salem Humaid AlMarri, stated that with Al Neyadi's return to Earth, the centre will study strategic plans to secure a seat on one of the space flights every 3 or 5 years.

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences and Technology at the University of Sharjah joins in to aid the UAE's space endeavors with the creation of the 4.5 metres S-Band Ground Station, that will allow the Academy to higher rate of data transfer and to download high-resolution images from the Sharjah-Sat CubeSat Series.

This week, we explore the Space Technology Industry in Northern Ireland with Robert Hill, manager for the Northern Ireland Space Cluster and Chair of the Northern Ireland Space Special Interest Group. Robert is also Chair of Matrix, the Northern Ireland Science Industry panel, which in March 2025 published a report on the space industry in Northern Ireland.

This week we are discussing astrophysics, how to better understand changing clouds, their impact on Earth's climate, making the most of open data, unconventional career paths and the power of ‘paying it forward.’

With me to discuss all of that is Dr Jacqueline Campbell, Co-Founder & Partner Scientist at asterisk labs, ARIA R&D Creator and Schmidt Science Fellow.

This is the second in a series of space-related podcast episodes leading up to our evening discussion on space missions and their impact on UK space science and industry, in April.

It is more than a quarter Century since Denmark took its first steps into space age with the first satellite called Ørsted with the purpose of measuring the magnetic fields around the Earth. 
The mission was a great success in many ways and paved the way for several research groups working with different astrophysical problems. But it was also the beginning of satellite production in Denmark and that is the theme of the podcast today.
I was there in 2000 when the first Danish satellite was launched from The Vandenberg airbase in The USA - or rather I waited at the Launch-site but due to weather and technical problems it took a long time before the satellite went up.

Today many universities and technical schools are producing satellites for different purposes. The price for launching is going down very fast. For about 2000 US$ it should be possible to buy space for a one kilo satellite to go to space. Then comes all the development and communication devices you need to control your satellite.
Chief consultant Per Lundahl Thomsen from Denmarks Technical University explain to Jens Degett what you need to make your own satellite.
