Space race: technologies and exploration

In this final episode of our 'space race' trilogy, we explore the technology behind the industry. We start by discussing the Cosmic Girl rocket launch from Spaceport Cornwall and the future of space exploration in the UK.

We also look at the involvement of industrial gas companies in the space sector and the equipment that it supplies. Finally, we look at the technology used to sustain life in space, such as gas analysis instrumentation and electrolyzers for producing oxygen.
