Visit from the UK
How can research, entrepreneurship and international collaboration help shape the future of space?
We recently had the honor of welcoming Liz Lloyd, Baroness Lloyd of Effra, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, to the Chair of Space Technology - TU Berlin.
As a #TUBerlin spin-off, we were particularly grateful to be invited by Enrico Stoll and his team to present Quantum Galactics and discuss our current activities in cyber-resilient satellite systems, including the missions CyBEEsat, CISPAsat-1 and RACCOON-IOD.
The visit highlighted the importance of technology transfer from academia into industry. It was inspiring to see several generations of TU Berlin space startups represented in one room, including Exolaunch with Elena Eyngorn, Spacecraft Education with Steffen Reinert, octospace with Philipp Werner, Lunex Technologies, and Quantum Galactics GmbH, showcasing how research can evolve into innovative products, missions and companies.
The discussions covered topics ranging from satellite communications and cybersecurity to sovereign space capabilities, international cooperation and the future of Europe’s space sector.
A particular highlight came at the end of the visit, when we even had the opportunity to “fly” two satellites on the brand-new air-bearing table together with Lennart Ziemer and his team, providing a impressive hands-on demonstration of spacecraft dynamics.
Many thanks to Prof. Enrico Stoll, the entire Chair of Space Technology team, Baroness Lloyd and the UK delegation for the inspiring exchange. We look forward to continuing the close collaboration between academia, startups, industry and government in the years ahead.
