🚨 5 days until Newspace Europe! 🚨 📢 PROGRAMME SPOTLIGHT - Fireside chat 📢 The EU has developed a world-class space sector, including strategic assets, capabilities, and technical competences comparable with the ones of other space powers worldwide. But despite this know-how, Europe is losing ground in the Space Sector.  🌌 What should be done and is there a way forward for Europe in space? 🤔 Find out more with esteemed speakers Guillaume de La Brosse, Head of Unit - space policy at the European Commission - DEFIS and H. Ludwig Moeller Director of European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) ! 🙌 #europe #spacesector #LUSpaceweek

Last week, the Nemzetgazdasági Minisztérium (NGM) and the Neumann Technológiai Platform (NTP) jointly organized a thought-provoking conference titled “Space Industry Development and Competitiveness: Financing and International Market Overview.” 🌌 Distinguished speakers shed light on crucial aspects of the space industry, exploring funding opportunities and global competitiveness. Here are the key takeaways: Horizon Europe: The program’s three pillars—Innovative Europe, Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, and European Innovation Council—were discussed. Notably, calls for proposals related to space technologies were highlighted, emphasizing areas like reducing dependence on critical technologies and developing responsive space systems. Digital Europe: The program’s mission to accelerate the digital transformation of the European economy and society was underscored. The role of the National Contact Point (NCP) for Digital Europe, represented by the Neumann János Nonprofit Közhasznú Kft., was emphasized. European Defence Fund: This fund supports collaborative research and development projects in defense technologies, including space. Topics such as satellite imagery analysis, secure waveforms for satellite communication, and space-based early warning of missiles were discussed. Kudos to the organizers for fostering dialogue and collaboration in the dynamic field of space exploration! Sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning!

The heads of BRICS space agencies gathered in Moscow on May 23, 2024, to discuss various aspects of international space cooperation, deliberate on ongoing and prospective multilateral space initiatives, and adopt joint beneficial frameworks. https://lnkd.in/dsPFuRNs

As part of the CSIS Commentary Series, "Space in Focus: Key Issues for the Next Administration," the piece "The Commercial Space Imperative" by our CEO Mandy Vaughn, alongside Douglas Loverro and Stephen Kitay, examines the U.S. government’s contrasting approaches to commercial space launch and remote sensing. While launch policy thrived with government support, remote sensing faced challenges due to restrictive practices. They advocate for greater integration of commercial capabilities to strengthen U.S. space leadership and enhance national security resilience.

I am glad to have contributed to the scientific screening literature campaign powered by the European Space Agency - ESA through the Systematic Threat Analysis of Radiation From Space (STARS) project. An increasing amount of evidence highlights how space radiations alter the central nervous system (CNS) from both a structural and functional point of view. Understanding deeply such mechanisms is crucial for the development of specific countermeasures in preparation for future long-term space missions.

What's the future of Earth Observation in Europe? Let's discuss...

As the annual Space Foundation's National Space Symposium kicks off this week, we are excited to share the newly released 2023 State of the Space Industrial Base (SSIB) report. The report highlights a number of critical pillars the U.S. faces in the emerging space economy. Topics include assessing the current state of launch, satellite communications, remote sensing, as well as challenges in policy, finance, and workforce development. Now in its fifth year, the SSIB report is a joint project between the United States Space Force Air Force Research Laboratory and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and draws on the expertise of many partners including, NewSpace Nexus Space Florida and Space Northwest and others. Among the report recommendations is the need to embrace a collective North Star vision for space that is inclusive of the United States, its allies, and global partners as an enduring advantage for economic prosperity and collective security in the 21st century.
