SUAS Aerospace is a private upstream space service provider based in Ireland.
The company aims to operate two spaceports in Ireland, providing comprehensive facilities for orbital launches, suborbital flights, and rocket engine testing.
The engaging talk will be delivered on Wednesday, May 27, at 8pm in SETU Arena, presented by South East Astronomy.
Opening with a launch evening on Friday at 7pm, the exhibition will continue daily across the Bank Holiday weekend, welcoming visitors to enjoy a vibrant collection of original artwork created by local artists.
The SEA Art Group has gone from strength to strength over the past year, with growing membership bringing fresh energy and new talent into the group. This year’s exhibition promises a diverse and engaging showcase, featuring paintings in oils, acrylics, watercolours and mixed media.
Much of the work on display draws inspiration from the natural beauty of Tramore and the Copper Coast, capturing the ever-changing light, landscape and atmosphere of the area. The exhibition reflects both the individuality of each artist and the strong sense of community that defines the group.
Meeting weekly in Tramore, the SEA Art Group provides a welcoming and supportive environment for artists of all levels to develop their skills, share ideas, and exhibit their work.
Admission is free, and all are welcome.
