From navigating a journey with a smartphone to enabling military operations across the globe, space has become an essential part of modern life. Yet for many, it remains largely unseen.

Following this year's UK Space Power conference, Squadron Leader Amy spoke with Wing Commander Neil Henley, Chief of Staff of the Joint Force Space Component, the operational arm of UK Space Command to see how the domain reaches into every area of our lives.

On Ops, they wear the same uniform, they live in the same conditions, and they share the same risks. But they go unarmed. That is perhaps except for a bag or two of Haribo.

This week, Cpl Neil speaks with Padre Ashley Mitchell, Associate Chaplain at the Central Church of the RAF, St Clement Danes, to find out how RAF Chaplains support RAF personnel whether or not they have a faith or religion.

RAF Brize Norton is one of the busiest air bases in the RAF, so imagine the impact on operations if the runway was put out of action. Well, that's exactly what's going on right now during a 4 month resurfacing project. InsideAIR spoke with RAF Brize Norton's Commander Air Wing to find out more.

This week, InsideAIR goes 'Down Under' to RAAF Darwin, Australia on Exercise Pitch Black.

International exercises don't just put aircraft and aircrew interoperability to the test. The aviators who move, mend, fuel and feed the RAF must bring their 'A game' too, as nothing in the air would happen without them.

They're the RAF's operational hub, they make critical decisions at pace, and they balance global commitments with Air Defence of the UK. They are 11 Group. This week, InsideAIR speaks with Air Vice-Marshal Steve Kilvington, Air Officer Commanding 11 Group, the person responsible for driving operational thinking across the Royal Air Force.

In this episode of InsideAIR, we're heading to one of the most important military locations in the Pacific, Hawaii, for Exercise RIMPAC 2026.

Every other year, the island of Hawaii hosts a huge exercise with personnel from more than 30 nations working together across the air, sea and land domains. A multinational exercise like RIMPAC takes a significant amount of planning and preperation, as InsideAIR's Squadron Leader Amy Casey discovered when she joined some of those taking part.

In this episode, we'll catch up with the meteorologists from the Mobile Met Unit to find out about their work and we'll hear how military met forecasting came into being.

Flt Lt Chris Sully chats to a current forecaster about the support they offer for operations and planning and we hear about arguably the most important forecast in history ahead of the release of a film telling the story in the lead up to D-Day.

Since we last caught up, the Defence Investment Plan, or DIP, has been published, focussing on the move toward the RAF becoming Europe's first sixth-generation air force. Technology will be front & centre of the future RAF and with that comes even closer ties with our industry & research partners.

Amongst those partners is the Defence Science & Technology Laboratory, known as DSTL, and in this episode of InsideAIR, Flight Lieutenant Chris Sully goes behind the wire at their Porton Down Base in Wiltshire to see how that might look.
