For this episode we’re back in the Faraway Forest at Latitude Festival with space engineer Abbie Hutty. For the last seven years she has been working as the lead structures engineer on the European Space Agency’s ExoMars rover that is scheduled for launch to the red planet in 2020. Also, Jon makes an utter hash of trying to launch the Space Shed. Bear with him! In this episode Abbie and UNSA’s Director of Human Spaceflight Jon Spooner talk about  how she became a space engineer why she’s building a rover to go to Mars why she’s confident about finding new life forms on Mars  and answers questions on  what sort of life she’s expecting to find there what her favourite planet is and why what inspired her to work in the space industry how she responds to people who believe the Earth is flat  Enjoy!

...with Abbie Hutty

Europe’s ExoMars program has already kicked off with the Trace Gas Orbiter, currently manoeuvring downward to its final science orbit. But ExoMars is not limited to a single mission. By 2020, ESA hopes to launch the first European rover to the Red Planet. Abbie Hutty, a Lead Spacecraft Structures Engineer, comes on to talk about what it takes to design, test and build a rover chassis, from wheels to mast, and what this rover means in the broader view of Mars exploration and international cooperation. Links  Abbie’s Twitter Account ESA’s ExoMars 2020 Mission Overview (check sidebar for more) Animation showing surface operations An older test showing the flexible metal wheels of ExoMars The opening of the Mars Yard at Stevenage, featuring Abbie herself  WeMartians music is “RetroFuture” and “Electrodoodle” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

25 – Building a Rover (feat. Abbie Hutty)

The Ada Lovelace Day podcast highlights the work of women in STEM. We talk to women from around the STEM world about their careers, as well as talking to women and men about historic and modern women’s achievements, discoveries, and inventions.This month, we go into space with senior spacecraft structures engineer Abbie Hutty, who talks about her work on the ExoMars Rover. We’ll also be chatting with Anne Marie Imafidon, CEO and founder of the STEMettes, who will tell us all about her role model, Dame Stephanie Shirley.
