Space Propulsion Talk at KGS

As part of World Space Week I'll be giving a talk called ‘The Only Way is Up! – Space Propulsion Systems Past, Present and Future' at Kingston Grammar School at 7.30 pm on Monday 5 October. The talk will describe the history of space travel, both in fantasy and in fact, and explain the basics of rocket propulsion before exploring current and proposed forms of rocket, e.g. chemical, electric and nuclear, as well ideas for space propulsion that do not use rockets (e.g. solar sails and tethers). The talk is to help the school raise money for its science labs.

Tickets are £8 adults and £4 concessions and are available from Debbie Heaney at the School - dheaney@kgs.org.uk
