Blue Skies Space careers

Twinkle will be the first mission in a wider programme to enable a new generation of dedicated, cost-effective, short timescale scientific missions that respond rapidly to the need of the scientific community worldwide.

This class of mission will:
• Provide capability to do focused, world class science at a fraction of a cost of current astrophysics missions; and
• Demonstrate a new business model for space science missions based upon commercial mission delivery

Twinkle has been chosen as the first mission in the programme primarily due to the rapid advances being made in exoplanet research and its wide-reaching impact on science, society and Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education activities.
