for The CIM LaserDisc demonstrator was shot by Professor Paul Rankey
...on 8mm film stock - whilst he was at the University of Surrey working with
colleagues on the project which was subsequently hived off as Surrey Satellite
Technology - who were entirely responsible for the very successful
deployment of GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B and the securing of the Galileo
frequencies within the International Telecommunications Union
- for the Galileo Satellite Navigation System.
I AM [RE]minded today, however, on the official announcement of Galileo,
NOW offering its initial services, to public authorities, businesses and citizens,
that on the 13th of January 2009, Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL)
formally became a subsidiary of Astrium Satellites, a division of European
aerospace conglomerate EADS, in what SSTL Chairman Sir Martin Sweeting said
is a necessary step if the company he founded is to grow. In early 2012,
Astrium of France received another $39 million contract to technically enable
the Ariane 5 ES launcher to carry four Galileo payloads by late 2014,
according to the European Space Agency, which oversees development
of the Galileo satellite navigation system.

YET again the funding by the PEOPLES of the UK, for the benefit
of ALL THE PEOPLES of the THE EU, has been utilised by Surrey
University who have this time designed a spacecraft which can
grab space junk and then pull it into Earth’s atmosphere where it
is burned up.
The little craft, named RemoveDebris, is due to launch from the
Kennedy Space Centre on Monday, on board one of Elon Musk’s
SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets. The spaceship will dock at the ISS first
and then deploy on its own on a test mission to snare a small
satellite using a harpoon and net.
[IT] IS estimated that there are more than 7,600 tonnes of
space junk in and around Earth’s orbit - with some moving
faster than a speeding bullet, approaching speeds of 30,000
miles per hour, which are a huge threat to satellites and
space stations.
[BE] sure when you have [TIME] to explore and enjoy some of Paul Ranky's IDEAS and particularly video clips such as this [ONE] and then ask yourself what kind of intelligence created this in the first instance, eons before our species was born to this Planet Earth with the responsibility of [BE]ing THE custodians of ALL the passengers of Spaceship Earth, as 'Bucky' Fuller so succinctly proposed.

As early as next month, a modified Boeing 747 jet will fly from Cornwall, the southwestern tip of the United Kingdom, out over the Atlantic Ocean. Tucked under the wing of this plane will be LauncherOne, a 70-foot-long rocket packed full of satellites. The rocket will be flown to high altitude, dropped, and ignited before flying into space.
This outlandish procedure heralds an exciting new era in British spaceflight. “We feel tremendously honored to have this role—there’s a real joy in doing a launch for the first time from the UK,” says Dan Hart, president and CEO of Virgin Orbit, a US firm that’s part of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group. This will be the first ever orbital launch conducted from British soil.
