SUMMARY:Dr Lucie Green - Seeing Total Solar Eclipses From Space
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: Lucie will be presenting this talk via Zoom\, not in person at the University.  \n\n\n\nSeeing a total solar eclipse is an experience that you never forget. For a brief moment in time\, the extended atmosphere of the Sun becomes visible as the bright disk of the Sun is entirely covered by the Moon. Day becomes night\, the stars come out and you are able to view the Sun directly and safely. Total eclipses are also of huge scientific value and astronomers will take their telescopes to far-flung places to catch a glimpse of the Sun during these time. Now\, a new mission has been proposed that will fly a spacecraft into the shadow of the Moon in order to create total solar eclipse conditions in space. And it will do this once per month. This talk will discuss why total eclipses are so important for scientists and why an international team has been put together to create a new generation of eclipse viewing.

SUMMARY:John Thatcher - The Beagle 2 Mars Lander
DESCRIPTION:Beagle 2 was an extraordinary project in so many ways and like no other in terms of organisation and execution.  It was primarily looking for signs of extinct and/or extant life on Mars and was way ahead of its time in terms of the integrated science package.  It was remarkably small physically and had the highest ratio of science payload mass to total mass ever achieved.  Much of the inside story of the project has never been told and this talk lifts the lid on some of it. \n\n\n\nJohn retired in May 2013 after over 30 years working in the space industry\, mainly involved in spacecraft engineering and project management. He began his career as an aerothermodynamicist at Rolls-Royce Aero Engines in Derby.  He also worked briefly in the nuclear power industry before joining what was then British Aerospace at Stevenage working on communication satellites and subsequently moving on to scientific spacecraft. \n\n\n\nDuring his career ‘in space’ he has been fortunate to have worked on most aspects of spacecraft engineering covering design\, development\, manufacture\, integration\, test\, launch and operations of communication and scientific missions\, including the industrial management of the Beagle 2 Mars lander project in its early years. For his last decade at work John was the European Consortium Project Manager for the Mid-Infrared Instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope managing it through to delivery to NASA in 2012.
