ABOUT SCOTTSPACE LIMITED

Dr Rob Scott is a physicist who has been involved in space since 1980. He worked in academia for UCL’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory, involved initially in image processing and X-ray astronomy. He then moved to the remote sensing group, working on the Along Track Scanning Radiometer for ERS-1, and on a string of radar altimeter missions including ERS 1 & 2, and Envisat.

Rob left UCL in 1997 and joined the Guildford-based consultancy ESYS, where he developed advice-side skills and learnt the commercial aspects of the space industry. He continued his work in Radar Altimetry by project managing UCL's CryoSat software team and also contributed code to the Level 2 processing chains for the mission.

Since forming ScottSpace Limited he has worked under contract to RAL Space and UKSA among others. He will continue to support RAL's role in the new incarnation of CEOI.
