B-STAR reach for the stars

This is a new network - B-STAR (Brunel Space Travel Applied Research) Network that brings together, from across the university, all staff and researchers interested in and working on aspects of Space Research, Travel and Habitation.

This session will showcase a range of interdisciplinary projects that are already in progress and those that are being proposed and written. Thus, we will be introducing B-STAR's aims and objectives, highlighting our ideas and expertise in Space to an audience of interested attendees from the wider community, industry, Brunel staff and students.
