The Day Spock Beamed into the Mullard Space Science Laboratories (MSSL)

Recently I was invited to visit MSSL, in the heart of the Surrey Hill, 35 miles South of the City of London. The building was originally owned by the Guinness family.

It became evident in early 1960′s that space science section of UCL was outgrowing its premises. A donation by the Mullard Company, led to the purchase of the house, which was renamed MSSL.

MSSL is part of University College London (UCL).

I was shown around by Dr Lucie Green, a Solar Scientist. Here are some images taken around MSSL.

Lucie kindly gave me an interview which you can hear during this months show or rebroadcast as a podcast.
