On 27 March, the Satellite Applications Catapult launched the UK Autonomous and Connected Earth (UK-ACE) Connected Capability Network (CCN). Darwin was delighted to attend the kick-off, which took place at the Catapult’s headquarters at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus.

This is the second in our series of posts about the Apollo moon missions of the 1960s and 1970s: the first and, so far, the only time humans have been to the moon. In today’s post, we’re looking at the Apollo spacecraft, the roles of the people aboard and how the Apollo astronauts were able to return safely to Earth.

The success of Artemis I means we’re looking at the exciting prospect of returning humans to the moon. If all goes to plan, humans may step onto the moon’s surface again as early as 2025, during the planned Artemis III mission.

With the moon once more within reach, it feels like an appropriate time to reflect on the last time humans really connected with it. This article is the first of a series looking at humanity’s first steps on the moon.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is currently holding a series of Commercialisation Days. These events unite the space industry with organisations across other important sectors, such as health or transportation, in order to promote collaboration and innovation. Darwin is looking forward to presenting its solutions at ESA’s Transportation Commercialisation Day in November.

On Tuesday 11 July, the European Space Agency (ESA) opened the doors of its new UK conference centre at Harwell Science and Innovation Campus. ESA is a strong supporter of innovation in Europe, and Darwin was pleased to attend the event as one of the organisations driving technology forward with ESA’s help.
