Spatial awareness

A SCOTS firm building miniature satellites that can piggy-back on space rockets is sending its first device to Russia and is about to open an office in the US.

Clyde Space announced its expansion plans as First Minister Alex Salmond visited the firm's facility at the West of Scotland Science Park ahead of the first satellite being shipped to Russia for deployment at the launch site of Soyuz 2 rockets in Kazakhstan.
