The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Hipparcos satellite improved our knowledge of the position and velocity of 120,000 stars by two orders of magnitude in the 1990s and ESA’s Gaia satellite is due to repeat that feat for a billion stars. This is the most exciting of the world’s space science launches in 2013 and it is described by ESA’s Gaia Project Manager, Giuseppe Sarri.

From the beginning of manned flight there has been a symbiotic relationship between the aeroplane and simulation in all of its different forms. The role of simulation and flight simulators in aeroplane development, training and evaluation has evolved significantly over the last 80 years, often in response to technical innovations in both the airplane and ground support systems.
Dr David White's presentation looks at this evolving relationship.
