Engineered Space, Exploration and Beyond! 

Science Gallery Dublin

As part of Engineers Week, join us for an evening of expert talks focusing on astronomy and the engineering behind space exploration. Or how we are going to get them there? What materials might be needed to withstand the rigors of space exploration? And how engineers are designing systems so settlers can survive on arrival? Engineering pushes the boundaries of what is possible. Come along and learn more!
