Question: where do you work?

Norbert Gogiel answered on 16 Jun 2015:

I work in a company called Oxford Space Systems. We are based in Harwell Science and Innovation Campus outside Oxford. We create innovative, lighter, smaller and more redundant space systems to deploy things that hang off the satellites.

We are getting a lot of interest in the industry and plenty of companies and governments want to collaborate with us, not only form Europe, but from America, Algeria, Asia as well. It is all for scientific missions. We use a lot of maths to analyse our system to say if they are good enough or they need an improvement.

Here are a few of our products:

This is a huge antenna that is small when stowed and large when deployed. Very useful to analyse the Earth and has plenty of other usages. It is different to others. It is very light and simple in comparison to others.

This a tube extending on a long distance that could hold something at the end to put far form the spacecraft.

Here is another extending product. It behaves like those biking shoulder straps. This is a flexible material that is rolled in a box equivalent to four matchboxes in size and is extending onto 2 meters.

Any questions? Feel free to ask 🙂
