University of Glasgow
The University of Glasgow delivers frontier research on space science and space technology through strong UK and international partnerships. Our space capabilities are wide-ranging, including:
Launch systems, mission analysis, planetary rovers, satellite development, energy from space, and in-orbit manufacturing;
Space-based communications, quantum position, navigation, and timing (PNT), and robust electronic systems;
Solar and heliospheric physics, plasma physics, astrophysics, gravitational waves, and stellar and planetary dynamos;
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, edge computing, and cyber security;
Planetary science, meteorite analysis, and GIS data;
Energy conversion and alternative fuel sources;
Innovation ecosystems, sustainable business models and deep tech economies; and
Event simulation and response.
These capabilities are supported by several cutting-edge facilities, including the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre, the ESA-ESTEC National Testing Facility, the National Wind Tunnel Facility, the Integrated Space and Exploration Technologies Laboratory, and the Space Optics and Interferometry Cleanroom. We host several centres for research that are directly applicable to space, including the Centre for Data Science and AI, the Games and Gaming Lab, the Centre for Advanced Electronics, and the Centre for Quantum Technology. We play leading roles in several research hubs, including HI-ACT (https://hi-act.ac.uk/), TransiT (https://transit.ac.uk/), the Quantum-Enabled PNT Hub, and the Quantum Sensing, Imaging, and Timing Hub
