    Rocket science – live from the Great Exhibition Road Festival

    On Sunday, 8th of June, The Zero Pressure podcast hosted a live panel session titled "Rocket Science and the New Space Race, a sold-out event in the Spotlight Talks at the Great Exhibition Road Festival 2025. Chaired by Helen Sharman, the event brought cutting-edge space science and engineering to a packed and enthusiastic public audience. The session featured two of the UK’s leading voices in space innovation: Dr Adam Baker, a renowned rocket propulsion engineer and co-founder of UK Launch Services, and MatthewArcher, Director of Launch at the UK Space Agency. The panel explored the exciting evolution of space technologies, from high-thrust chemical rockets to innovative propulsion systems like the Magdrive, an in-space engine that utilisesmetallic fuels and plasma acceleration.

    On a Laser Quest: Countering Drones

    This time, we're diving into the rise of high-energy laser systems and the game-changing potential of their high-powered lasers. Since their invention, lasers have revolutionized science and technology, enabling precision surgeries, driving advanced manufacturing, and transforming global communications. High power lasers, once confined to science fiction, are now capable of taking down drones and missiles with remarkable precision and efficiency. Helen Sharman is joined by Jessica Glenn and Jae Daniel, the co-founders of Aim Defence, and also Professor Richard Thompson. Richard is a professor of experimental physics at Imperial College London, with particular expertise in atomic physics, spectroscopy and quantum optics.

    Beyond the International Space Station

    This is a very special edition of the Zero Pressure Podcast series as Helen Sharman is joined by 3 fellow astronauts to discuss the future of space stations. Since the 1970s, humans have been using orbiting space stations as places to live and work in microgravity. More than engineering and life support marvels, they are platforms for ground-breaking experimental research, expanding our knowledge of science and our ability to explore further. Helen is joined by Reinhold Ewald, German physicist and astronaut, now President of the Association of Space Explorers, who spent 20 days in space, 18 days on the Mir space station.  Soyeon Yi, biotechnologist, and South Korea’s first astronaut, who spent 11 days in space, 9 on the ISS. Soyeon is now a lecturer and businessperson, currently with a particular interest in medical devices.  And Christer Fuglesang, physicist and the first Swedish astronaut, who spent 26 days over 2 missions in space, 17 days on board the ISS, with five EVAs, or spacewalks.
