Astra Carta
On 28th June SSTL's Sir Martin Sweeting & Victoria Irwin (pictured) were honoured to attend a Space Industry reception at Buckingham Palace and support the launch of the Astra Carta by His Majesty, King Charles III.

The event also involved the unveiling of the Memorandum of Principles for Space Sustainability, which SSTL were delighted to add their signature to.

Victoria Irwin said, "Not only was it a personal honour to attend Buckingham Palace and meet His Majesty King Charles III, it was also an event of professional significance. With over 40 years experience in the UK Space industry, we have watched as the landscape has evolved over time and new challenges emerge operating in this environment. We firmly believe that we have an obligation going forwards to not only ensure we act personally in a responsible and sustainable way, but to lend our voice and experience to establishing the new frameworks with UK industry and government , such that we set the standard for the world to follow; enabling the many benefits that space can bring , to be enjoyed by many future generations to come."
