DJB Instruments at Orbit South Central: UK space sector networking
DJB Instruments took part in Orbit South Central, a monthly networking event bringing together organisations working across the UK space sector. The February 2026 event was held on Wednesday, 25 February at the Future Towns Innovation Hub at the University of Southampton.
DJB's Andy Prince was invited to speak alongside representatives from Green-Co and the University of Southampton, sharing insights with attendees from across the South Central space community.
DJB's contribution
Andy discussed DJB Instruments' long heritage in manufacturing piezoelectric accelerometers in the UK, and how the company's work supporting space-related applications has grown in recent years. DJB's sensors are used in demanding testing and monitoring environments where precise vibration measurement is critical to system performance and reliability.
Other speakers
The event also featured presentations from John Camilleri of Green-Co, who spoke about his career across the space industry and related activity across the South, and Rose Swears from the University of Southampton, who shared research into green hypergolic propellant ignition analysis and the role of rigorous testing in propulsion system safety.
Orbit South Central events are designed to connect key players within the UK space industry, providing a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing and discussion around emerging technologies, funding opportunities and regional initiatives.
