Paul Palmer is the Professor behind NIMCAM, leading the Atmospheric Composition Group @EdinburghUni, focusing on atmospheric study. Paul is helping build a ground-based remote sensing network across the UK to track GHG's and help combat climate change - buff.ly/3yYaJFu
NIMCAM is 1 of 12 early-stage Earth observation projects funded by the UK Space Agency's £9m investment, helping to better monitor and help protect the planet - buff.ly/3VCOUEm
🌋 Volcanic Meteorites from Mars reveal the geological history of the red planet...
Using argon-argon dating, shergottites were dated from around 150-600 million years ago, pointing towards ejecta from the youngest and largest volcanoes on Mars - such as Olympus Mons!

Dr Lara Kalnins is a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences - with research in marine geophysics and volcanism 👉 buff.ly/3RammiN
🛰️ A solution to catching space junk?
Here at Edinburgh's Centre for Robotics, an optimisation framework for stabilising a tumbling targets using a two-arm space robot was created. This was taken a step further by using two KUKA robotic arms to put simulation into practice!

Glass used in solar panels, windows, mirrors, and fibres could be produced from Moon dust 🌒
Dr Jürgen Schleppi and Dr Geoffrey Bromiley investigated the transparency of glass produced from different artificial lunar regolith 👉buff.ly/3UMQH85

Really excited to be heading out on tour again later this year. This is a brand new show sharing the humour and excitement, the triumphs and tragedies of human spaceflight. I can’t wait to share the behind the scenes stories that bring these iconic moments to life.
Venues across the country from September 2024.
See link for ticket and venue information.

Happy Launchaversary to Helen Sharman.
In 1991, she became the first Brit in space, the first Western European woman in space and the first woman on the Mir space station.
That’s an impressive list of firsts 🚀.
Helen continues to be a fantastic advocate for STEM education.

Prisoners experience confinement similar to what future deep-space astronauts living on the Moon and Mars will endure, which is why Prof Charles Cockell from the UKCA set out to create the 'Life Beyond' project - linking prisoners to space exploration 👉 buff.ly/4bJrqCn

How will astronauts adapt to medical emergencies in deep space with communication delays? Steven Yule, chair of behavioural sciences @EdinburghUni teamed up with researchers to investigate autonomous medical responses with and without ground support. 👉 buff.ly/3QMaQtD
Steven is an academic psychologist with 20+ years of experience in team performance in high-risk/high-reliability industries. Along with colleagues, Steven helped produce the Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons to help improve patient safety buff.ly/3QFarcj
#space #medicine
Crew autonomy was assessed in a simulated space environment in response to medical events. Steven is part of a team helping create a standard medical programme for astronaut crew behaviour, implementing effective management tools in response to emergencies buff.ly/3yuiDpy
Dr Varsha Jain is one of the world’s first space gynaecologists and is leading the way in female physiology in space 🚀
Varsha teamed up with the European Space Agency to create the first research agenda for reproductive health in space. 👉buff.ly/4bzo1pF (Page 36).
Varsha appeared on the Instant Genius podcast, discussing reproduction in space, stigma, and how pushing the body to the limit in extreme environments can help advance human physiology unknowns on Earth. The podcast episode is definitely worth a listen! 👉 buff.ly/3yakK1Y
