University College London

The UCL Department of Space & Climate Physics designs, builds, and tests instruments for space, including flight instruments and advanced space telescopes. These instruments are used to explore planets, comets, and the wider solar system on major space missions. MSSL hardware has been on over 300 space missions since 1957, placed in orbit around Earth, Mars, Venus, and Saturn, and has visited comets. The department collaborates with engineers, scientists, and research students. UCL, the parent institution, was founded in 1826 and is headquartered in London. It also does not list specific qualifications or standards held by the department, nor does it detail specific customers beyond general references to 'major space missions' and 'international missions'.
