Charlotte Stanyon
My love and excitement for space began when I started working at the National Space Centre. I quickly realised that you don’t need to have a physics or engineering background to work in the space sector and be part of something amazing.

We asked Charlotte...
Given the chance, would you go to space?
Absolutely not! I’d be terrified and I wouldn’t want to be away from Alan (my dog) for that length of time. I’m quite happy admiring space from earth.
What’s the best thing about science?
The endless exploration and possibilities.
What’s the best thing about working at the National Space Academy?
The amazing team and the awesome people I get to work with and meet. Oh and I’ve also held a meteorite which is pretty cool!
