Plastron Immersive

Plastron embeds skills, services and products in the space industry to ensure quality engineering practices align with safety objectives. This underpins our commitment to the UK and international space sectors – space for the next generation. Why? This is important because the space industry is undergoing a significant step-change which has been building over the past 15 years. With the advent of European launch - and the introduction, globally, of micro and small launchers - there is a groundswell of interest for sovereign and international, collaborative efforts to exploit space commercially at unprecedented levels. NewSpace, which typifies this industrial transformation by name, is unique, drawing on the experience and expertise of a legacy which leans back on the advent of the space race after the Second World War. With the shift towards rapid prototyping, higher-risk innovation and sheer pace of action, the legacy knowledge of the past is needed to avoid errors being repeated, which pose risks to both human activity and the technology they work with. Our training and skills support is designed to bridge this gap, to leverage the knowledge and expertise of the past and ensure it is embedded in the minds and practices of the current and future workforces. Our training focuses on upholding proven best practice in engineering activities as well as motivating awareness and pragmatic responses to potential safety concerns that arise during test programmes.
