SPACE ENGINEERING & INSTRUMENTS
Our world-leading research is at the forefront of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, machine learning, robotics and hypersonics. We develop instrumentation for applications in meteorology, seismology and subsurface characterization. We have facilities for assembly, integration and testing including mechanical and electronic workshops, cleanrooms, metrology, thermal vacuum and vibration test equipment. Hardware development has focussed on infrared radiometry and spectrometry for remote sounding. Currently work is being undertaken on the development of the Modular Infrared Molecules and Ices Sensor (MIRMIS) on ESA's Comet Interceptor, the Lunar Thermal Mapper (LTM) on NASA's Lunar Trailblazer, and sample handling for the asteroid sample being returned by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission.
