Clarification

On 29 July we reported that the University of Cambridge had “topped a shortlist” to receive funding from the UK Space Agency for interplanetary exploration.

In fact, the space agency has awarded £3.65 million to help UK scientists prepare for three missions involving numerous universities. Cambridge is involved in two of the projects, but is leading neither. We are happy to make this clear.
