A new demonstrator vehicle showcasing cutting-edge design and manufacturing innovation for space will be unveiled by the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) as part of Space-Comm Expo – the UK’s largest space industry event.
Designed by the Lightweight Manufacturing Centre (LMC) at NMIS – which is operated by the University of Strathclyde and part of the High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult – the space vehicle brings together bold ideas for future manufacturing, highlighting possibilities that could be used for future launches.
The demonstrator builds on the work NMIS is already doing in the space market, supporting local companies and global players with solutions to some of their most complex manufacturing challenges. According to Space Scotland, the sector contributes more than £4 billion to the economy per year[1], with almost one-fifth of all UK jobs in the sector based in Scotland[2].
