In September we were delighted to welcome the BBC Blue Peter production team and presenter Mwaksy Mudenda to Oxford Space Systems.

The team were visiting Harwell to prepare for Awesome Orbit Competition that was launched by Tim Peake on the programme broadcast on 7 October.

One of our apprentices, Cameron, had fun showing Mwaksy our deployable antennas and explained why they are important for many satellite missions to deliver high RF performance from a small stowed volume.

In the UK you can watch the programme on the BBC iPlayer at https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0010d58/blue-peter-new-competition-alert       

Children between 6 and 15 can enter the competition at https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/bp-competition 

The competition will close at 17:00 on Wednesday 27th October 2021.
