A massive thank you to Surrey Satellite Technology, who have donated some brilliant dressing up materials for our new ‘Space Debris’ workshop. 🌟

The clean room kit that Surrey Satellite Technology has provided is accompanied by a foam board that explains the purpose of satellites and shows the students real satellite engineers in their clean room gear. 🛰️

These outfits were a huge hit with our students who loved hearing about satellites, UK Space Command and the role of the RAF in defending space! 🚀
