Join Elliott to find out more about what’s happening with our teams; why do we do what we do, and why are we passionate about it; what’s changing at the Centre and what’s going on behind the scenes.

We're really excited for you to get to know the National Space Centre better and to bring you closer to the work we do here! Space may be very far away for the vast majority of us; but starting from now, the National Space Centre will be closer than ever before.
