HRH Duke of Edinburgh presents award to SSTL

In the news

This month, SSTL CEO Sir Martin Sweeting received the Royal Institute of Navigation's Harold Spencer Jones Award for "an outstanding contribution to navigation". The award was presented by the institute's patron, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh (photo).

The award recognises SSTL's achievement in the construction and successful launch of the first Galileo validation satellite, GIOVE-A.

Sir Martin was invited for the President's Address to speak on "Small Satellites - Changing the Economics of Space". The talk discussed how affordable small satellites such as GIOVE-A enable low cost constellations to be built providing highly capable distributed systems.

Earlier in the day Elizabeth Rooney and Andrew Bradford from SSTL collected certificates of achievement on behalf of their colleagues at SSTL for the work carried out on GIOVE-A.
