Today I met Jonathan Marrs and Nicholas Russell of US company Axiom Space who are building the first commercial space station - it was extremely interesting to discuss the potential opportunities for Scotland from space infrastructure. I’m aware of all the debate regarding the potential for low earth orbit laboratories with micro gravity for pharma, semi-conductors and a range of research areas in the future. Access to space infrastructure will be crucial and here in Scotland we need to think seriously about our role and the opportunities given our track of always being at the forefront of research and science. ????????????????
