Cerberus Nuclear recently sent Tom, Nathan and Thomas to Space-Comm Expo Europe in London at the start of March. Debuting the Materials in Orbital Radiation Environments (MORED) tool, which is now available on our website, we also had the chance to talk radiation protection and simulation with a whole host of attending companies.

This was our first space sector conference with a stand, and we were blown away by just how busy we found ourselves. Turns out there is quite a bit of radiation in space!

We ended up having talks with universities and education programmes about how MORED could be used to improve student’s understanding of radiation impacts and a whole host of in-depth discussions on the modelling of electronic components, sub-assemblies, and even whole satellites in radiation environments.

On the second day of the conference, Thomas spoke at the UK Space Cluster Network’s SME Innovation Showcase, alongside 4 other companies who had been awarded funding via the UK Space Agency’s Space Ecosystem Commercialisation Programme (SECP). MORED was received warmly and we look forward to building our relationship with our local space cluster and the wider UK Space ecosystem.

It was also a pleasure to hear how other companies had made use of the SECP funding and there were even some talks about how we could support each other in future endeavours.

Cerberus Nuclear is now discussing how we can support several prospective client’s radiation related needs and putting together longer-term plans to increase what we can offer the space sector in terms of radiation modelling.
