MSSL ALUMNI

Welcome to the MSSL Alumni pages.

UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory was formally opened in 1967 following a relocation from the Gower Street site in London. Since then, the department has been training the UK's leading space scientists and engineers across many areas including astrophysics, solar physics, planetary science, climate physics and spacecraft technology. Over 50% of past MSSL PhD students still work in the field in which they did their PhD studies, and many others have found employment in related disciplines.

Today MSSL is the largest university space science group in the UK, with a grade 5 rating in the National Research Assessment Exercise and close relationships with space agencies such as NASA, the European Space Agency and the Chinese Space Agency. From this page you can keep in touch with the space activities in which MSSL is currently involved, view our annual newsletter and find out about the events we run.
