More publicity for WUSAT

There has been even more publicity for the WUSAT project in media from around the UK. Articles have been featured in regional newspapers around the University and the hometowns of the team members, including the Coventry Telegraph, the Andover Advertiser and the front page of the Stevenage Advertiser. The articles can be viewed by clicking the above links.

The project was also mentioned in an article in the Components in Electronics (CiE) magazine, a well respected industry with good readership. We were mentioned in an article on our sponsor Harwin's Gecko connectors, which will be used in WUSAT - 2 extensively. It can be seen in the digital edition here on pages 24 - 25.

In addition, there are upcoming media events including project director Bill Crofts being interviewed for I-Cov radio that will be featured on this website soon.
