Expo shines light on space activities

For the first time, Dublin is playing host to the European Space Expo, which aims to reveal how space improves our everyday lives.

The travelling exhibition, which opened at Trinity College Dublin yesterday and runs until Sunday, shows how space activities and applications have a direct impact on planet Earth.

“Over 30,000 applications rely on space technologies that can help optimise transport, increase efficiency in agriculture and fisheries industries, protect our environment and improve our security,” said an Expo spokeswoman.
