Presented as part of our temporary display 'SPACE at The Collection', Charles Simpson FRAS FBIS will be talking about his own important collection of space memorabilia, and on the missions that lead up to and then came after the now legendary Apollo missions.  Covering a short ten year span between 1965 and 1975, Charles will be providing an overiew of the history and significance of some of the more overlooked missions occurring during the golden age of space exploration.

Charles Simpson is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and the British Interplanetary Society.

This talk is part of our ongoing Lunchtime Lectures series. It will be held in the auditorium at The Collection, starting at 12.30 and lasting for approximately 30 minutes.
