About the event
This month’s Cascade, and the one in September will be special edition sessions. Following the launch of Space North’s Resilient Communications guide in Farnborough in July, we are working to better connect the Resilient Communication communities across the North East, Yorkshire and North West.
In August, we have Airbus who are also based in Newcastle to tell us about their Earth Observation work. Our regional guests this month will be Christian Facchin and Victoria Irwin from North West’s MDA.
