Team Kingston at IAC2009

The 2009 International Astronautical Congress is taking place in Korea and Team Kingston is in attendance. On the left is James Arkwright who has just graduated from the MEng in Aerospace Engineering and Astronautics. On Monday afternoon James represented the UK in the intenational student paper competition talking about the hybrid rocket motor that he designed and built as his individual project. We'll find out later in the week if he has won a medal.

On the right is third year astro student Tejal Thakore who has been here since last week taking part in the Space Generation Congress and in connection with her role as co-ordinator of the Space Generation Advisory Council's 'Move an Asteroid' competition.
