About the event

Talking Science : Designing for Deep Space: Ariel’s Amazing Engineering
Join us for a fascinating talk as part of Talking Science, a series of free talks for the public. Breaking down the barriers to science.

About this Event

Get ready for a cool adventure into space and science!

Join engineers Ryan and Laura, who are working on the Ariel space mission, as they share how we explore faraway planets called exoplanets - and why we need super cold technology (called cryogenics) to do it.

You’ll take part in a fun quiz, watch an amazing liquid nitrogen demonstration, and discover how STFC helps make these space missions possible. After the talk, head to the Visitor Centre for hands-on activities and workshops all themed around Ariel and space. It’s going to be a blast - science has never been so cool!

This in-person event will start promptly at 13:30 and will finish at 16:00. It is suitable for ages 7 and up, although this is just a guideline.
