As we close out 2025, we’re proud to say a lot has happened at LAB287 this year.

  • Growing our presence in the industry: From Space Comm in London to the IAC in Sydney, we’ve spent the year at some incredible events, meeting amazing people across the globe.
  • Our long-term partnerships continued to grow: We’re grateful for the continued support from the UK’s Space Clusters, especially Space East and Space South Central. With their backing, we’ve continued strengthening ties with industry and academia.
  • Staying true to our values: Throughout the year, we’ve stayed focused on creating products designed to make people’s lives better and pushing on with the mission that drives LAB287. We also expanded our capability by designing our first moon rover payload – watch this space.
  • A market pivot towards defence: We’ve seen a clear trend of companies once known for consumer innovation shifting their attention towards the defence sector. This transition will no doubt continue, and LAB287 is well placed to support commercial firms as they make this move.
  • Building a happy team: We’re super proud of what we do and we know it’s only possible because of the brilliant team we have. This year, we also extended our reach to Australia. Who knows where we’ll go next.

 

Thank you to everyone who has supported us this year. We’re excited for what’s ahead in 2026.

Happy New Year from all of us at LAB287
