“Bespoke” or “off-the-peg”? — Earth Observation will need to adapt its offering to users as it becomes more mainstream Some say we are in the ‘golden age’ of Earth Observation (EO) with huge numbers of diverse remote sensing platforms in orbit and terabytes of data being downloaded daily. However, too often the potential of this technology does not become mainstream because we are not able to scale up to fully operational sustainable services. To borrow a tailoring metaphor, we are still building “bespoke” solutions to solve individual customer’s problems rather than offering “off the peg” products that can be used by the masses. This is not a new dilemma, but in this article, I want to lay out the issues, illuminate some experiences from a different age and offer a way forward where the tools we have to hand can be applied more effectively.

Human Reproduction In Space: Let’s Get Some Real Answers! I asked physician and austere environments researcher, Shawna Pandya, MD some of the most basic questions we need answering about becoming a space-faring civilisation. (Dr Shawna Pandya is a physician and aquanaut, and the Director of the Space Medicine Group at the International Institute of Aeronautical Sciences (IIAS), where she’s a Space Medicine and Austere Environments Researcher.) #space #SpaceExploration #Artemis #Mars #HomoGalacticus https://lnkd.in/d9JVq-53

Diversity in all industry matters.. we're moving in the right direction with space.

I recently finished reading the book "The Three-Body Problem". I got curious about the real projects searching for extraterrestrial intelligence. I remember when I was a student there was a project which enabled anyone to install software for processing radio signals. Today, at Space Ambition, we did a review of this topic. A curious fact is that these projects are usually funded by private money. I hope you find the article interesting :) https://lnkd.in/d3AcDfe7

Very interesting especially as we consider AI and neural nets with regards to digital twin capabilities.

SO ENDS this marathon series of Fragments on arguably the biggest question facing humanity: are we alone. Professor Loeb has accumulated highly suggestive evidence that the answer is no, and is committed to gathering objective, rigorous data to further investigate the question. It is an incredible undertaking that could slingshot humanity into a greater technological age if correct. https://lnkd.in/eSZHvX4c
