The Space and Exploration Technology research cluster brings together expertise in access to space, in-orbit systems, and planetary exploration technologies. Our work supports the design and delivery of future missions through a combination of simulation, laboratory-scale demonstration, and terrestrial analogue testing.

Centred around the Integrated Space and Exploration Technologies Laboratory (I-SET), the cluster has access to advanced facilities including an air-bearing platform, Helmholtz coil system, vacuum chamber, cleanroom space, and 3D printing. A newly installed ESA-funded space environment chamber enables critical research on rocket plume-regolith interaction for lunar, Mars, and asteroid exploration.

This cluster connects interdisciplinary research across the James Watt School of Engineering and welcomes collaboration with academic, commercial, and space agency partners.
