The Satellite Zone was funded by the UK Space Agency with six engineers working in different fields within the space industry.
- Sylwia is a Geographic Information Systems specialist working on digital mapping technology
- Stephen designs software that gathers pictures of Earth from satellites
- Phil designs, manufactures and tests spacecraft
- Matt is a director of space engineering who communicates with spacecraft around Mars
- Hollie, the winner in this zone, develops coatings that can be used in extreme environments such as rocket thrusters
- Helen is working on an instrument for a satellite to get closer to the sun than anything has before
All of the engineers in this zone took an active role in the event and were great at building a rapport with students, as well as answering questions openly and informatively.
