Message from New SpaceFlight Editor Rob Coppinger

I am the new Editor of SpaceFlight and I wanted to bring to your attention opportunities for members to contribute to your magazine. SpaceFlight has always been a magazine for the members, by the members bringing the expertise from amongst the membership to the fore.

Please find below my topic suggestions for articles for the remainder of 2021 and first half of 2022. I hope you find something of interest there.

The suggestions are mainly based on when launches and missions are planned to take place. The list below is not a fixed list, it can change for members’ preferences or delays to launches and mission milestones.

If any member has a topic they would love to write about I would be happy to discuss that with them and when it could go in SpaceFlight.

I hope together we can continue to make SpaceFlight the very best space exploration magazine and a great ambassador for the British Interplanetary Society

The table’s Edition column shows the publication issue and in brackets the actual month it’s on sale.
