The
ambitious SpacedOut project was launched to much acclaim
on Friday March 12, 2004, at the world-famous Jodrell
Bank Observatory ...
The SpacedOut launch event was attended by astronomers,
journalists, Kate Simms from BBC’s Northwest Tonight,
pupils from Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School and
William Hulme’s Grammar School, friends, supporters
and members of the general public. All agreed that the
launch was both sociable and informative, and that the
informality of the occasion, coupled with tremendous Jodrell
Bank hospitality, added much to the occasion.

Ian Morison, Operations Engineer at the Jodrell Bank Observatory,
welcomed our guests with some enthusiastic introductory
remarks. Spaced Out’s Project Director Dr Nigel
Marshall then gave a short presentation outlining the
project, its aims and proposed outcomes. Details included
a list of proposed sites, a projected timeline and anticipated
funding. Graphic designer Andrew Greenwood added further
information on the project’s proposed website.
NIgel Marshall introduced the members of the Spaced Out
team and concluded the presentation by expressing the
team’s gratitude to the event’s supporters:
G-Mex/MICC, Northwest Development Agency and The BA. Ian
Morison then chaired a lively questions and answers session
before bringing the formal proceedings to a close.
