On the 1st-3rd of December, the MEng FYT team (Carlos Munoz Moya, Hana Rabuzin, Adam Lambert and James Arkwright) and myself travelled to Cologne to present the research proposal and experiment design to the ESA panel.

The two day event was split into the competition panel on the first day and on the second day a series of presentations from ESA representatives about their facilities, capabilities and future strategies and missions. The trip ended with a tour around the European Astronaut Centre. One highlight was an impromptu visit from French Spationaut, Jean-François Clervoy (after completing his medical) and dropped by to see how things were going.

The team were competing against 15 other European teams of MSc and PhD students. The Kingston team gave a compelling presentation and we have high hopes (excuse any pun) for a good outcome. Even if the road ends here for the team, it has been a great experience for the team to present and defend their idea infront of a ESA scientific panel.
