Our Day Guests
One of the most popular features of Satellite is always our Day Guests, local academics or industrialists – usually scientists or engineers – who come along to give a talk on their research. We are delighted to welcome Dr Gilles Bailet (Saturday) and Dr Yasher Moshfeghi (Sunday) as our Satellite 9 Day Guests.
Dr Gilles Bailet
Dr Gilles Bailet is a Lecturer in Space Technology at the University of Glasgow, where he leads a team developing in-space manufacturing and robotic technologies. His work spans microgravity testing, additive manufacturing, and spacecraft thermal/structural systems, with recent demonstrations including parabolic flight campaigns and the development of the Multi-Purpose Environmental Chamber (MPEC) to test materials and processes under space-like conditions.
