Rocaidean gu Leor (Rockets Galore)

Scotland is at the forefront of the space industry. Mairi Rodgers meets some of those involved in it and visits communities where spaceports are being built.

Tha fanas a’ toirt buaidh mhòr air ar beatha laitheil, gu h-àraid a thaobh teicneolas. Tha luach na builleanan de notaicean an gnìomhachas an fhanais agus tha Alba air aon de na dùthchanan a thana theis-mheadhain. Thigibh còmhla ri Mairi Rodgers ’s i a coinneachadh ri daoine a tha a’dèanamh rocaidean mar chur-seachad, oileanaich a tha airson obair fhaighinn sa ghniomhachais agus cuid de na companaidhean a tha a’ sas ann. Bidh I cuideachd a tadhal air coimhearnsnachdan far a bheil feadhainn gu mòr ag iarraidh port-fanais san nabachd aca agus feadhainn eile gu tur na aghaidh.

Space massively impacts our daily lives, especially in the technology that we use. The industry is worth billions of pounds and Scotland is one of the countries at the heart of that industry. Join Mairi Rodgers as she meets amateur rocketeers, students who hope to work in the industry and some of the companies involved. She also visits communities where spaceports are planned - with some warmly embracing the hubs and others determined to block them.
