Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 10: Landing on a planet at 600 miles per hour
Lunch Hour Lectures - Spring 2011 - Episode 10: Landing on a planet at 600 miles per hour Unmanned robotic missions are essential for understanding the planets within our solar system. Current missions comprise of gentle landings combined with rovers to explore the local region. Due to the expense of such missions, and their sometimes unsuitability as scientific outposts, UCL’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory is developing Planetary Penetrators, which aim to land on planets at very high speed, penetrating the planet and implanting equipment just below the surface.

Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2009 - Episode 10: Seeing the invisible: Observing the dark side of the universe
Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2009 - Episode 10: Seeing the invisible: Observing the dark side of the universe To celebrate the 400th Anniversary of the telescope and World Space Week. Dr Bridle will describe in pictures ‘gravitational lensing’, the bending of light by gravity, which is predicted by Einstein’s General Relativity. The mysterious dark components that constitute most of the universe do not emit or absorb light, but they do exert a gravitational attraction, and gravitational lensing is one of the most promising methods for finding out more about them. Dr Bridle will review the current observations and upcoming surveys. Dr Sarah Bridle Royal Society University Research Fellow Cosmology@UCL Vintage Podcasts - Lunch Hour Lectures
