I recently spent the day at the European Space Agency’s Headquarters in Paris.  I was in discussion with the team that produce the in-house magazine ESA Today.  ESA is an organization that I passionately believe in.  It allows us to play on the world stage of space exploration.  With that in mind, I’m happy to report that I’ll be helping out with some of the editing duties on ESA Today from this autumn onwards.

Whilst I was in Paris, I was reminded of a special issue that I helped edit back in April.  It was written by various people, all of whom are concerned with spinning out the technology from the space industry into every day applications, so that ordinary people can directly benefit from space research.  You can download a pdf of the document here.
