RAL Space Science and Technology Department

The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) provides research and technology development, space test facilities, instrument and mission design, and studies of science and technology requirements for new missions.

Much of the Department's work is in collaboration with UK university research groups and a range of institutes around the world. Most of these collaborations have been set up to support European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA missions, though RAL is also working on projects with other countries and organisations including Australia, Japan, Morocco, Pakistan, Russia and the European Union.
