🔭 Find Your Place in Space Week Informational Webinar March 18, 2024, 3–4 p.m. ET Registration: https://bit.ly/43wWnXX 🔭 You are invited to an informational webinar on March 18, 2024 at 3 p.m. Eastern, hosted by NSF and NSPC, to learn about "Find Your Place in Space Week", occurring from April 6-13, 2024. The week also includes the upcoming total solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. 🔭 In our ever-expanding society, space has become more than rocket launches and trips to the Moon. It is an industry that touches nearly every other—from healthcare, to climate, to banking, to agriculture, etc. During "Find Your Place in Space Week", people across the nation will take a deep dive into all that space has to offer. Organized by the National Space Council, federal departments and agencies, museums, science centers, organizations, and space companies will have activities throughout the week that highlight what space is, why space matters, and the benefits of space for Earth. 🔭 More information is also available at this web site: https://lnkd.in/e5TAhSW8

"Session 5: Harnessing the power of space data for a more sustainable and prosperous future" - "Space data provides a unique viewpoint to understand the Earth and the accelerating change we’re experiencing in a variety of different areas – climate, biodiversity, infrastructure, land use and more. Fueling a suite of Earth system modelling tools and services, space data is a central part of how we monitor and protect our environments, as well as how we increase resilience in areas such as disaster management, risk prevention, civil protection. These are all areas in which Europe has been at the forefront of through its Copernicus programme. One area in which the full potential of space data is arguably still to be realised however is the development of the private market. Whilst some examples are being seen of space data contributing to digitalisation across vertical sectors such as automotive, agriculture and maritime, the explosion of use cases and vast commercialisation of space data to deliver economic growth that was hoped has arguably not yet been delivered. This session will explore the long term future of space data and what needs to be done to harness the huge value that it offers across both the public and private sectors. It will look at the impact that it has already made in helping to tackle climate change and increase resilience, and at the work that still remains to be done in order to push growth in the private market for space data and more broadly to maximise the vast economic and societal potential that exists."...

This webinar talked about the huge impact space can have on a community and how clusters of business can provide economic and #workforce development for an area, even if they cannot #launch #rockets. The U.K. is really leading the way in space. 🚀 🤓

New on the plateform: the NIR-RG BrightEarth mosaic! https://lnkd.in/dvXmMi_c We are thrilled to introduce a new feature in the BrightEarth mosaic. Users now have the possibility to request a False Colour image using the Near InfraRed (NIR) band, along with the usual Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) bands.   This new band is particularly well-suited for vegetation enhancement on earth observation images, vegetation peak emission occurs in this part of the spectrum.   In the following image, you can observe the difference between the RGB and NIR-RG, highlighting the increased brightness of vegetation in the latter. #S2GM service, developed by ACRI-ST, adwäisEO and LuxCarta in the frame of Copernicus Land service for the Joint Research Centre (JRC, European Commission). #Copernicus #Sentinel2 European Space Agency - ESA EU Environment and Climate

This event aims to bring together researchers interested in exploring the potential applications of Fink data, both in the context of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), as well as the upcoming Vera Rubin Observatory Large Survey of Space and Time (LSST). #astronomy #astrophysics #computerscience #gravitationalwaves

I look forward to the discussion. Commercial Space provided earth observation is changing the value and access to space critical infrastructure

🇺🇳 This year's #COPUOS2024 session marked a step change in the engagement with the space sector on issues of space governance, recognising the value of expert-driven discussions on active debris removal, space sustainability, space traffic coordination, and more. 🤝   🆕️👥 COPUOS agreed to formally admit Space Data Association, the GSOA (the Global Satellite Operators Association), Space Renaissance International, Outer Space Institute and the African Astronomical Society as observers.   UNOOSA Director Aarti Holla-Maini said: “The participation of stakeholders from across the space sector informs international negotiations on the scientific, technological and legal aspects of space governance. Space has for some years now, no longer been solely State-driven. Innovative and scalable solutions developed by the private sector along with a wealth of knowledge and operational experience exist and must be leveraged in the service of maintaining and increasing sustainable access to space data, technology and services. #UNOOSA will continue to engage the private sector through initiatives such as the UN Space Bridge, the World Space Forum, and COPUOS to ensure governance and actions are driven & informed by the latest knowledge and information available.” 🌐   👉 For the full list of 50+ observers (International Organisations, International Non-governmental Organisations, industry, etc), check out: https://lnkd.in/gf_SCg8K

Our satellites🛰️ in space are vital to life on Earth🌏. However, as we launch more into orbit, we soon may reach a tipping point. Check out this #ScienceTalk by UNU-EHS🇺🇳 featuring master's programme alumna🎓 Caitlyn Eberle, who sheds light on the risks to our space-based infrastructure and how they impact us. ➡️https://lnkd.in/eYDSEF-U

The new era in #space #exploration require to venture deeper into space, including destinations such as the #Moon, near-Earth #asteroids and #Mars. The establishment of a permanent settlement in the Moon has been considered essential to advance the fields of space exploration, interstellar colonisation and planetary science. This intrinsically imply that there is an urgent necessity for developing cost-effective technologies that will not depend on constant resupply or resources from Earth. In-space construction and manufacturing with local raw materials from space will be a key step in in the further development of human space capabilities. The development of innovative #mineral & #metal processing technologies to be used in space, such as the one that we developed based on the use of deep eutectic solvents for metal recovery from asteroids (https://lnkd.in/eqFDhsHe) will, therefore, be essential to discover new worlds and build advanced technologies.

🛰️ ClearSpace is happy to participate in the UK Space Conference 2023 under the theme of Space for Our Future. Rory Holmes and Valentin Valhondo from our UK Team will be there to connect with our industry partners and discuss the importance of creating a sustainable space environment. 🎙️Spotlight Stage on 23 November (11H50): Rory will highlight the growing concern of congestion and debris in space, emphasizing the challenges posed by the increasing number of deployments, including the contributions from major commercial players. He will address how managing safety and sustainability in this ever-evolving environment is undeniably complex but fortunately also paints a hopeful picture of the future, where our mission, CLEAR captures space debris. Don't miss it!
