This is a wonderful opportunity to visit one of the leading sites for space development in the UK.  We have designed this visit with our young astronomers in mind, so priority will be given to our CYA members, but there will be space for a few adults as well.  The provisional programme is:

8.00 am - Meet at the Institute of Astronomy for registration and refreshements

8.45 am - Board coach and depart from IoA

9.45 am - Arrive at Airbus Stevenage

10.00am

• Welcome, handing out passes, and introduction
• Short talk about the site and what is done here
• Tour of manufacturing facility.
• Mars Yard visit with talk on Mars and our Rosalind Franklin rover project
• Visit to STEM centre
• Return to site - Q&A, other business, close.

12.00 Noon - Board coach to return to Cambridge

13.00pm - Arrive at IoA, Cambridge

The cost of the visit is £25 per adult (which allows us to take our CYA members for no charge).  Places will be allocated on a first come/first served basis.

For security reasons, we will require full names, dates of birth and nationalities of all participants in advance of the visit, and adults will need to bring a government issued photo ID with them on the day

If you are interested in coming, please RSVP to this event and then email Jonathan on jonathanc@cambridgeastronomicalassociation.com.  Jonathan will be able to confirm your reservation and it is important that you do this.  Please do not arrive on the day unless your space has been confirmed with Jonathan.  We will require payment in advance.
