Ann McKechin MP Clyde Space's plans to launch Scotland's first satellite, and also our commitment to outreach work to enthuse and support budding space engineers in local schools. Ann (pictured here with Clyde Space MD, Craig Clark) gave Clyde Space her full backing during a visit to our premises in the West of Scotland Science Park, which lies within her consituency.
Following the meeting, Ann said,
"Maryhill-based Clyde Space is a 'can-do' beacon of hope and template for new technology jobs we need in our communities and our country.
"I'm particularly delighted that this local business is committed to a wonderful P1 to S6 school outreach programme which will bring science classes in Glasgow so close to the hands-on, pioneering work of the space industry.
"Glasgow has a proud industry launching the world's finest ships on the River Clyde. Now Glasgow has the opportunity to build a proud future of precision engineering satellites and spacecraft with Clyde Space.
"We can and will make space technology a proud new Scottish industry for young people to look forward to here in Glasgow. It is vitally important that our communities grab the science jobs of the future with both hands."
