A Dundee company which has exported space technology to Nasa has won praise from the Scottish Executive.

Star-Dundee has also had its products taken up by the European Space Agency and the US Naval Research Laboratory.
The company was formed as a spin-off from Dundee University's space technology centre.
It has used £100,000 from the executive's Smart scheme for innovation to support research and development for a number of projects.
Deputy Enterprise Minister Allan Wilson said the work being done at Star-Dundee showed Scotland to be at the cutting edge of innovative technology.
