From the fiction of Jules Verne and Arthur C. Clarke to the V2 rocket, Sputnik satellite and Yuri Gagarin, space exploration has fascinated and challenged mankind for generations.
Space continues to play a vital role in our daily lives, with scientific and technological advances for satellite applications including security, defence and telecommunications. But what is next for the space industry?
Join us at this Achievements in Space – from Gagarin to Space Tourism evening lecture to hear about the great achievements in space exploration and travel and from a UK perspective how important the industry is to our economy and daily lives.
Imagine a flying machine that can cruise in the air for three weeks without landing - and does not need a runway.
Sound like science fiction? This is real - the Hybrid Air Vehicle - which looks like a traditional airship can land anywhere and on any surface.
View the video on the new vehicle set to revolutionise the skieson the BBC website.
