Rocket launches. Satellites. Space 2.0.You might think it all began in Silicon Valley or Cape Canaveral, but the modern small satellite revolution actually started right here in Surrey.
In the late 1970s, a young academic at the University of Surrey had a bold idea: what if spacecraft could be smaller, smarter, and affordable?
That idea became UoSAT-1, launched by NASA in 1981 and it went on to change how the world does space.
Join Professor Craig Underwood, Emeritus Professor of Spacecraft Engineering, for a fascinating, behind-the-scenes story of how Surrey became a global force in space technology and how it helped shape what we now call Space 2.0.
✨ A must-see evening for anyone curious about science, innovation, engineering and Surrey’s surprising place in space history.
