BBC Inside Science – How is war being fought in space?
Available for 34 days
This week, Inside Science comes from Space Comm Expo in London, one of the largest space conferences in the world. Tom Whipple explores the conference with Suzie Imber, professor of planetary science at the University of Leicester. Tom also speaks to Dr Everett Dolman, Professor of Space Strategy at John Hopkins University in the US, about the role of space in modern warfare. Jodie Howlett, who oversees on-orbit manufacturing at the UK Space Agency, explains why the unique physics of space could provide the ideal environment for making the next generation of medicines. And Daniela Schmidt, Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol, tells us why new research shows how we have dramatically underestimated our sea level measurements.
