Propulsion Laboratory. For more than 50 years,
the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been at
the forefront of space exploration. In 1958, it
built and operated the first US satellite,
Explorer 1, and over the following decades sent
robotic spacecraft first to the moon, and then
to all of the solar system’s planets. Dr Elachi

 The
Royal Academy of Engineering is the UK’s national
academy for engineering and technology. As such, it
seeks to use its leadership position to strengthen
the contribution of UK engineering to sustainable
wealth creation and quality of life. Despite its
national remit, achievement of the Academy’s
objectives requires a global outlook. Engineering
research, practice and markets rely on transnational
flows of goods, services, knowledge and people, and
engineers have essential roles to play in addressing
the world’s most pressing challenges, including
climate change, global poverty and international
security.
The Academy's international
interests are growing and include: developing
relations with other national academies; leading
debate and public policy projects; promoting UK
engineering capability; and building capacity in
developing countries.
