09:00 | Keynote address Professor Cathryn Mitchell, M0IBG The talk will explore the connections between radio and space and will look at the many ways that everyone can get involved. Radio science is fundamental to space exploration but also to many aspects of our lives. From satnavs to mobile phones to wifi we usually take radio for granted but we all know the frustration when it does not work as well as we expect! We need experts who are trained in the theory, practical problem solvers who are willing and able to fix problems and also experimenters who discover practical improvements that challenge our understanding. |
