Action packed programme
The RSE says:
“In what promises to be an action-packed day of space exploration for aspiring astronauts, science-fiction fans and the space curious, families will get the chance to explore Earth using augmented reality, build and launch a soyuz FG rocket, take an astronaut on a spacewalk using a robotic arm and much more at the various hands-on activities and meet-and-greet sessions available throughout the day.”
Highlights of the event will be recorded and speakers will feature in upcoming episodes of the highly popular video series ‘Quiz-a-Whiz’, which will be published on the RSE website.
