Local Student wins "Our Space" competition

In July Mala Mawkin entered the “our space” competition to go to the Johnson and Kennedy NASA space centres in America. The competition required her to use the astronaut Richard Garriott’s mission as a springboard to her own imaginative space adventure. She chose to produce a short video about future space travel. 
Mala researched about future technological ideas in space travel although this was hard as many of these were merely concepts. She finally chose an idea that related to Lorentz’s force. It said that if spacecrafts in the future were to emit charged particles they could be deflected in a planets magnetic field and travel through space.
Mala was invited to the Farnborough Air Show where the results were announced. Much to her surprise she had won the competition of which her prize was a trip to an American space camp and the opportunity to show my video to the House of Commons in December....More to follow
