NASA astronaut Kathy Sullivan visits Edinburgh Space Hub

Former NASA astronaut Kathy Sullivan recently visited the University as it marked the launch of the new Edinburgh Space Hub.

During her visit, Ms. Sullivan – the first American woman to perform a spacewalk – learned about the growing importance of space data for a range of industry sectors and Edinburgh’s long-standing excellence in the area.

The new Hub will bring together academics and industry to harness the power of space data to address key global challenges, including climate crises and economic inequality.

Kathy Sullivan also toured the University’s collection of materials from the pioneering marine research expedition undertaken by HMS Challenger in the 1870s.
