This week at Pine Trees, we welcome Dr. Stuart Eves who is the Lead Mission
Concepts Engineer at Surrey Satellite Technology Limited.

After working with the Ministry of Defence for 16 years, Stuart joined SSTL
in 2004. He has experience in communications and surveillance satellites
and initiated the ‘TopSat’ satellite programme, the engineering model of
which was displayed at the Science Museum in London until recently.

Stuart is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and has an MSc in
Astrophysics and a PhD in Constellation Design.

In his presentation entitled ‘The Future Is Out Of This world’, Stuart will
give us his slant on how he sees satellite technology progressing over the
next 20+ years.

With Satellite technology being of interest to many Radio Amateurs, this
will give us a fascinating insight into an (out of this) world of
technology that many do not fully understand and these days, take for
granted.

Please join us at Pine Trees Community Centre from 7pm on Thursday 16th
March to meet Dr. Eves and listen to what will surely be a fascinating
presentation.
