Earth observation satellites (EOS) play a key role in monitoring and protecting the environment, managing natural resources, responding to global crises and emergencies. Here’s a look at how the commercial segment of EOS originated, the current state of the industry, and where it is headed.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed life on Earth, and its arrival in orbit was only a matter of time. Today, this technology is used for a wide range of tasks—from detecting space debris to analyzing data. Here’s a closer look at some of the most interesting projects in this field.
The UK’s recent steps demonstrate how a forced separation from U.S. space capabilities may not weaken, but, paradoxically, strengthen the country’s space sector. The strengthening of the private space sector today could facilitate the development of a sovereign space program for the UK.
Today, Africa’s presence in space is growing: more than 60 African satellites are currently in orbit, the African Space Agency (AfSA) was officially established in January 2023, and, by 2026, the space industry’s value could reach $22.6 billion. Let’s take a closer look at Africa’s space ambitions.
Europe is now preparing for the possibility of a restructuring of NATO, which may be caused by the USA’s policy. If this happens, Europe’s space sector is left on its own. EU countries, together with the UK, are already planning a restructuring of their space sector, including its military component.
Africa is not typically associated with major space-related events. This article will explore South Africa’s contribution to the development of space technologies across the continent and its space-related companies SANSA and Dragonfly Aerospace that have achieved global success.
Vladimir Vernadsky’s teachings managed to foresee the future, offering a new perspective on humanity’s role in nature. Echoes of Vernadsky’s noosphere concept can be seen today in environmental science, the development of artificial intelligence, and humanity’s pursuit of living in harmony with nature.
Every day, three pieces of space debris fall to Earth. According to a new report by the European Space Agency (ESA) the amount of space debris will keep growing unless humanity starts taking action. Here’s a look at how new technologies and individual startups are helping to tackle this problem.
We present the final part of our overview of Japan’s space program. We will discuss the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)’s most famous missions over the past 50 years. Many of them were pioneering, while others shaped Japan’s own understanding of its place in the space environment.
Vladimir Vernadsky developed the concept of the “noosphere,” which explains humanity’s place in the world. Read on to find out how the term “noosphere” emerged and how this doctrine has influenced humanity’s perception of its place in the universe and its responsibility for the planet’s future.
