Welcome to the spacePod, a look at the UK space industry from the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. http://www.sstd.rl.ac.uk/Podcast en-gb http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Fri, 16 Feb 2007 16:19:00 +0000 Fri, 1 Dec 2006 09:32:55 +0000 FeedForAll v1.0 (1.0.2.0) unlicensed version spacepod@rl.ac.uk The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory SpacePod brings you the latest exciting developments in UK Space Science and Technology! SpacePod brings you the latest exciting developments in UK Space Science and Technology! The spacePod comes to you from Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, at the heart of the UK space industry and one of the largest space-science institutions outside the USA. We talk to UK scientists and engineers working with past, current and future space missions, discuss the latest technological developments and bring you the major science stories. Tom R and Chris D spacepod@rl.ac.uk http://www.sstd.rl.ac.uk/Podcast/index.html 006-08.2008 In this edition: Bruce Swinyard tells us about his work on the Herschel Space Observatory, Katy Astley talks to Helen Walker about her role in the Mars Express mission, and Bob Bingham discusses the possibility of a manned mission to Mars.
