This month we had the exciting opportunity to create our very own NRT video in collaboration with LJMU and video production agency HalfCut.

Dave Copley (NRT systems engineer) talks about the NRT in front of a 3D printed model of the telescope.

Dave Copley (systems engineer) and Helen Jermak (project scientist) were joined by Alan Cross (STFC North West Space Cluster manager) and Mike Brizell (Arup) to talk about the exciting science and engineering behind the project. Helen said "The video turned out great, so I'm really pleased. But it was very intense speaking in front of the camera! We needed to do two takes because my t-shirt wasn't ironed. Very embarassing!".

The video, can be viewed here: https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/about-us/news/articles/2024/10/15/nrt and will be used to advertise the project, particularly in the North West of England and will be shown at the UK Space Conference in Manchester next year.
