University of Surrey

GB

The University of Surrey, through its Surrey Space Centre (SSC), is a leading UK academic center for space engineering research, established in 1979. SSC pioneers the development of cost-effective small satellite technologies and complete space missions, from design and manufacturing to in-orbit operations, offering expertise in areas like astrodynamics, propulsion, and remote sensing. A key focus is supporting the space industry through applied research, development of innovative technologies, and training the next generation of space scientists and engineers. The University partners with organizations like the UK Space Agency, Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), and Airbus.
