The King will conclude his Bermuda visit by officially launching the UK Space Agency’s (UKSA) Project Nova, an initiative to track space debris. Charles is scheduled to visit a new UKSA observatory on the island, where he will learn about plans for a global network of telescopes across five sites, monitoring old satellites, rocket stages, and other orbiting objects.

Later on his final day, His Majesty will open the new Great Bay Coast Guard Station. There, he will be briefed on the Royal Bermuda Regiment’s Coast Guard’s vital work protecting the island’s territorial waters and marine environment, and view their new unmanned underwater and aerial vehicles.
