UK Space Agency to bring its 'Space for Everyone' STEAM tour to Glasgow

This exciting initiative aims to captivate and educate the next generation, showcasing the UK's flourishing space industry. Scottish based businesses, including Orbex, Skyrora and Spelfie will be attending to showcase the diverse array of career opportunities available.

The ‘Space for Everyone’ tour will serve as a beacon of inspiration, shedding light on the pivotal role that space plays in enhancing life on Earth. Visitors, including children, families and teachers will have the unique opportunity to witness first-hand how space technologies benefit our daily lives and gain insights into the continuous efforts to explore the great unknown.

Matt Archer, Director of Launch at the UK Space Agency, said:

“We’re delighted to bring our Space for Everyone tour to Glasgow so young people and their families can learn not just about space, but also about the vibrant space sector and the exciting career opportunities available in the field. “ The space sector is diverse and requires people from all backgrounds and with a variety of skills – many not traditionally associated with it. The tour proves you don’t have to be a rocket scientist, or even an astronaut, as there are a host of talents needed to bring space closer to our daily lives and improve our understanding of this critical part of the environment for the benefit of the planet and its people.

Admission to the tour is free, no booking required, and while the event is primarily targeted towards children aged 9 to 18, it is guaranteed to ignite a passion for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) in individuals of all ages. Mums, dads, grandparents and next-door neighbours are all invited to participate and experience the excitement of the Space for Everyone tour. 

The tour has been travelling the UK since it kicked off in Southampton in June and will visit Plymouth later this month. For further information about the Space for Everyone tour, please visit spaceperson.co.uk/rocket-tour  or follow @spacegovuk on social media.

SPACE-COMM EXPO SCOTLAND 2024 REGISTRATION GOES LIVE

24th May 2024

GLASGOW TO WELCOME GLOBAL SPACE INDUSTRY TO FIRST EVER  SPACE-COMM EXPO SCOTLAND

Registration for the inaugural Space-Comm Expo Scotland is now open. Space-Comm Expo, organised and owned by Hub Exhibitions, is the leading international space conference. This is the first time the Expo comes to Scotland and will take place September 11-12 at the SEC Glasgow. Visitors can register for free entry tickets and access the programme at www.space-comm.co.uk/scotland

The first Space-Comm Expo Scotland is the new catalyst for one of the world’s leading space nations at the forefront of the UK’s global space ambitions. The Scottish space industry is one of the fastest growing in Europe, home to over 150 space companies employing over 8,000 people in high quality jobs.

Glasgow designs and builds more small satellites than anywhere outside of California. Scotland is home to five spaceports aiming to be a strategic launchpad for the northern hemisphere with multiple launch vehicle operators.

Headline speakers already confirmed include Will Whitehorn, Chair, Seraphim Space Investment Trust; Professor Malcolm Macdonald, Chair of Applied Space Technology at the University of Strathclyde; Dr Hina Khan, Executive Director, Space Scotland. Conference themes include; Boosting Investments in Space, Sustainability, Accelerating Growth in the Space Sector, Building the Workforce of Tomorrow, Current Capabilities and Future Opportunities.

Over 3,000 attendees are expected over the two day event, discovering new technologies, innovations and applications from over 75 suppliers, representing the whole supply chain.

The programme includes 60 speakers, 450 one-to-one meetings and 20 hours of free-to-attend conference sessions. The audience profile is not only space industry professionals but those from downstream sectors such as Fintech, Agritech, Maritime and Energy, with an interest in space applications.

Space-Comm Expo Scotland is supported by the Scottish Government, UK Space Agency, UKspace and Space Scotland, with plans to attract international delegations and visitors from across Europe and the global space community, alongside Primes, SMEs and Start-Ups. The Expo features a strong government focus with the introduction of a government & VIP Programme for Ministers, International Trade Delegations and other stakeholders.

Professor Anu Ojha OBE, Director of Championing Space at the UK Space Agency, said: “Events like Space-Comm Expo Scotland play a vital role in bringing together the people and businesses who will write the next chapter in the growth story of Scotland’s space sector.  Glasgow is a global hub for small satellite manufacturing and data applications, while companies and universities across Scotland are playing major roles in some of the most complex and important space missions, supporting thousands of jobs. There are huge opportunities to build on these successes, as we countdown to the first launches from Scottish spaceports, catalyse investment from all over the world, and deliver new space missions and capabilities that benefit the whole of the UK.”

Investment Minister Tom Arthur for the Scottish Government said: “I’m delighted that Space-Comm Expo is coming to Scotland. It’s a fantastic endorsement of the country’s rapidly growing space industry and a great opportunity to showcase the talent, innovation and facilities it has to offer. Scotland is open for business and the Scottish Government is committed to helping unlock further opportunities, investments and collaborations to support this hugely exciting and strategically important sector.”

Space-Comm Expo Scotland will follow the award-winning format of previous events with Scottish based companies to the fore alongside international exhibitors, product demonstrations, keynote speakers, multiple conference theatres, roundtables and 1-2-1 networking opportunities.

“Lockheed Martin is delighted to be part of Space-Comm Expo Scotland, which is an opportunity for us to show our ongoing commitment to the UK space industry and to broaden that industry across the UK which of course includes our interest in Scotland,” said Nik Smith, UK Regional Director of Lockheed Martin Space UK. “We are a strategic partner with the Government and are working closely with the UK Space Agency to conduct a vertical satellite launch from SaxaVord Spaceport in the Shetland Islands, further evidence of our determination to support the Scottish and wider UK economy.”

The award winning and varied format of Space-Comm Expo includes the main Expo area with leading suppliers, separate Keynote Stage and Downstream Theatres, Start-Up Zone, Meet the Buyer, Roundtables, Space Bar, Networking Lounge, Breakfast Briefings & Evening Receptions.

Space-Comm Expo Scotland follows in the success of the four previous editions of Space-Comm Expo. In 2025 Space-Comm Expo will be expanding in both capacity and international reach. March 2025 the Expo will move to London ExCel to manage attendee growth and facilitate the participation of international delegations, exhibitors and visitors. Another new Expo will be launched next year, Space-Comm Expo Dubai will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre in May 2025.

Orbex To Raise Profile of Scotland’s Spaceflight Industry at Glasgow ‘Space for Everyone’ event

Forres, UK, 20 September 2023 – UK-based orbital launch services company, Orbex, is set to participate in the UK Space Agency’s ‘Space for Everyone’ event in Glasgow on the 21 st and 22 nd September. Orbex previously attended the Space for Everyone event in Aberdeen in August, and due to a high level of interest, more dates have been added to the tour.

Orbex will once again provide visitors with a glimpse into rocket-building and spaceflight, offering a range of activities, educational resources, and insights into the company’s own operations. The Space for Everyone tour will be in Glasgow at George Square from September 21 st – 25 th .

Devised by the UK Space Agency, ‘Space for Everyone’ is a nationwide tour designed to be a beacon of inspiration, shining a light on the UK’s burgeoning space sector and the variety of career opportunities available. As well as getting up close to a 72ft rocket replica, visitors will have the opportunity to explore various interactive exhibits as they learn about the crucial role spaceflight and satellites play in enhancing life on Earth.

Orbex will take the opportunity to address the high level of interest in the rapidly emerging Scottish spaceflight industry, particularly among younger generations. With a rocket factory in Forres in Moray, and a ‘home’ spaceport currently being constructed in Sutherland on Scotland’s northern coast, Orbex is uniquely poised to help young people in Scotland – and those interested in space sector careers – expand their knowledge and learn more about how they can get involved.

At the event, Orbex will be offering freebies, activity books for kids, and informational resources about its Prime space rocket –the most environmentally friendly rocket in the world. Attendees will get to see videos showing the Orbex Prime space rocket and the construction of the launch platform at the test site at Kinloss. The launch of Prime is expected to mark the first vertical rocket launch from the UK mainland. Visitors to the event will have had a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what makes Prime special and learn more about a career in the space industry.

“Our commitment to the community goes beyond just business. Engaging with young people who will make up the next generation of space industry professionals, is a privilege," said Martin Coates, CEO of Orbex. "We’re looking forward to showcasing some of the fascinating work underway at Forres and Sutherland and provide a glimpse into Scotland’s pioneering role in the future of global spaceflight. At our last Space for Everyone event, we gave out 1,250 activity books to kids and adults. So, let’s see if we can beat that in Glasgow!”

Matt Archer, Director of Launch at the UK Space Agency, said: “We’re delighted to bring our Space for Everyone tour to Glasgow so young people and their families can learn not just about space, but also about the vibrant space sector and the exciting career opportunities available in the field.”

“The space sector is diverse and requires people from all backgrounds and with a variety of skills – many not traditionally associated with it. The tour proves you don’t have to be a rocket scientist, or even an astronaut, as there are a host of talents needed to bring space closer to our daily lives and improve our understanding of this critical part of the environment for the benefit of the planet and its people.”

Tim Peake: Astronauts - The Quest To Explore Space

Add to your event list.

After multiple sell-out tours with his debut show, My Journey to Space, Tim Peake returns to venues across the UK with his hugely anticipated new show, Astronauts: The Quest to Explore Space.

With the help of extraordinary archive material and footage, matched only by his unparalleled storytelling, Tim will bring to life the awe-inspiring endeavours of those pioneering explorers we call astronauts.

There is nobody more qualified than Tim, as a longstanding European Space Agency astronaut, to celebrate the incredible achievements and historic human endeavour of space exploration.

From our first forays through to the vast potential of the future, Tim will recount stories from his own journey to space and bring to life many iconic and groundbreaking missions from the past. He’ll reveal what spaceflight is really like: from the wondrous view of Earth, living in weightlessness, the unique dangers and unexpected moments of humour, to the years of training and gruelling psychological and physical pressures an astronaut must endure.

The journey has only just begun… come and join Tim for this first-of-its-kind show, launching a local theatre near you in 2024!

Astronaut Tim Peake spent six months aboard the International Space Station back in December 2015. He was the first Briton to become a ESA astronaut.

About this event.

​Book now to secure one of the limited number of spaces available for our exclusive, guided chocolate tasting experiences. We’ll take you on a tasting journey through five of our recipes to reveal the flavour profile that’s right for you.​

From unapologetically fruity to decadently dark – we’ve spent 20 years obsessively developing a deep understanding of flavour, individual tastes and preferences. And this unrivalled view on chocolate flavour profiles is the result.​

Each guided experience lasts 30 minutes, and you can book with up to three fellow chocolate lovers to share the chocolate happiness. Tickets are £7.50 per person.

Tickets are non-refundable.

The event is not suitable for those with nut allergies.

Please contact us directly if you have any allergies before booking your place.
