Clearly, if there are any such prerequisites, they must be present on Earth even if they are extremely rare in the general population of planets.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/PUZrTZf-DpU" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/PUZrTZf-DpU/is-the-earth-special Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Nov/is-the-earth-special http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Nov/is-the-earth-special This 1 day meeting will focus on establishing and promoting a clear and effective route for the exploitation of MEMS devices, originally developed for industrial applications, in space and, where applicable, vice versa.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/5tGPhCmHM-Y" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/5tGPhCmHM-Y/uk-mems-space-workshop Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Nov/uk-mems-space-workshop http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Nov/uk-mems-space-workshop 20-23 March 2012, ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/rfKZFtVbFHY" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/rfKZFtVbFHY/european-conference-on-spacecraft-structures-materials-and-environmental-testing Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Nov/european-conference-on-spacecraft-structures-materials-and-environmental-testing http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Nov/european-conference-on-spacecraft-structures-materials-and-environmental-testing Date: 15th March 2011 Location: Pickavance Lecture Theatre on the Harwell Oxford campus.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/PDMMqYHWz_I" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/PDMMqYHWz_I/microgravity-workshop Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Mar/microgravity-workshop http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Mar/microgravity-workshop Date: 28th March 2011 Location: University College London (UCL)<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/6jUBJJpC5Qg" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/6jUBJJpC5Qg/cryogenics-in-uk-research Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Mar/cryogenics-in-uk-research http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Mar/cryogenics-in-uk-research A symposium to discuss near to long-term opportunities and possibilities for space based research.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/b8FzQ81KALc" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/b8FzQ81KALc/observing-the-earth-and-planets-the-next-50-years-symposium Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Sep/observing-the-earth-and-planets-the-next-50-years-symposium http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Sep/observing-the-earth-and-planets-the-next-50-years-symposium Space projects can be more susceptible to some risks than terrestrial equivalents, and their impact on the business can differ. In addition, there are certain risks specific to space commerce. These result from their longer-term nature and the fact that they are conducted in outer space. For example, commercial risks associated with the choice of technology can have a greater impact in space where the technology cannot be readily changed after launch.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/GBAcNbqb-LY" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/GBAcNbqb-LY/risks-associated-with-space-activity-seminar-series Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Oct/risks-associated-with-space-activity-seminar-series http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Oct/risks-associated-with-space-activity-seminar-series Date: Friday 18th March 2011 Location: The Royal Berkshire Conference Centre<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/Zxx_aZ4kE8o" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/Zxx_aZ4kE8o/teentech-2011 Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Mar/teentech-2011 http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Mar/teentech-2011 This workshop, facilitated by the Space SIG, aims to identify the benefits which a Space TIC (Technology & Innovation Centre) would bring to the sector, as well as the spill-over benefits to wider society and other sectors. The morning session will comprise an overview of TICs themselves: what they aim to achieve; the ten themes being considered, including Space; a description of the existing High Value Manufacturing TIC; The Space SIG will provide an overview of current mechanisms and enablers of innovation in the Space sector. The afternoon session will consist of a set of discussions focussing on:<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~4/WSZDb465cr0" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ukspaceagency-events/~3/WSZDb465cr0/space-technology-and-innovation-centre-orientation-workshop Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Jul/space-technology-and-innovation-centre-orientation-workshop http://www.bis.gov.uk/ukspaceagency/news-and-events/Events/2011/Jul/space-technology-and-innovation-centre-orientation-workshop
