      In some ways, we are all quite similar and actually rely on each other to do a good job! That’s because the industry is so big, no one research lab or company can do it all. Which is great! Actually, I think all us engineers are linked… let me try! SO, I work on the Solar Orbiter Mission Design and Manufacture. Adam is part of the team making the SPICE instrument, one of the 10 that will go on the mission. Alexander is part of the group at ESA which will have decided that Solar Orbiter will become a mission and that the scientific returns are valuable. I’m sure I have met Aron once when he came to my company, and he is working on robotics for the Mars Rover type missions which we are building on site in Stevenage, and Neil is working on cubesats which I did some work on when I first joined my company. So, we are all different, but all linked!

      What Jessica said; to achieve the exciting missions pushing the boundaries of science and technology we need to collaborate.
      Personally I try to bring in inspiration from nature to improve designs whenever I can.

      By the way I have worked on SPICE as well last year 🙂
