Heathrow Trial Space Weather Ship safety   October 2004

Welcome to the October e-Newsletter from QinetiQ containing all the latest news and pioneering developments from Europe's largest science and technology organisation. We welcome any feedback from you so please e-mail us. Runway Trial Underway A radar system designed to reduce any potential risk of runway debris being undetected is currently undergoing a two-week trial at Heathrow - the world's busiest international airport. The QinetiQ Tarsier™ radar system is able to detect potentially dangerous items of debris at a range of up to two kilometres. Working alongside BAA, QinetiQ is working on further refinements to the technology before an expected launch next year (2005).

Galileo will become operational later in this decade. This test satellite is being built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) on behalf of the European Space Agency and is planned for launch in 2005.
