Laurene Colin is a Senior Space Operations Analyst at HEO UK. With a background in Mechatronics Engineering, Laurene joined HEO during its early days from its headquarters in Sydney, Australia, and dived head first into the space industry. There, her work focused on capturing some of the initial non-Earth imagery (NEI) as well as on the early optical payload design. Last year, Laurene moved to HEO’s London office to focus on the commercial applications of NEI – particularly to support satellite early operations, in-orbit monitoring and for its space domain awareness (SDA) capabilities. Laurene wishes to draw on her past experiences across the insurance, sustainability and technology sectors to contribute to the development of a well-regulated and sustainable future for the space industry.
