Head of space company takes up post in satellite gallery

The head of an Island space company is joining the advisory board of a prestigious new exhibition at a leading American museum.

ManSat chief executive Chris Stott is taking up the post in the satellite gallery at Maryland’s National Electronics Museum which is due to open next year.

The exhibition will present a history of satellites and the technology they use as well as more information about the industry.

Mr Stott says it is a privilege and is recognition of the Island’s progression within the space sector.
