To ensure a smooth preparation process and participation, registration for GLEX 2025 and IAC 2025 is now open. To ensure a smooth preparation process, please mark your calendars with IAF important dates, which highlight key deadlines and milestones.

IAF EARTH OBSERVATION SYMPOSIUM (B1) 75th International Astronautical Congress I am very pleased to share the good news that my paper titled “Major Challenges and Opportunities to Accelerate Space-Based Earth Observation Activities; A Case Study of Türkiye” has been accepted for presentation at the 75th International Astronautical Congress in Milan, Italy, on 14-18 October 2024. This paper provides a broad overview of Turkey's efforts to enhance its capabilities in space-based Earth Observation activities between 1996 and 2023. It highlights the country's significant achievements, successful projects, collaborative endeavors, challenges faced, and milestones reached in advancing its space capabilities. The study also assesses the progress made in the first decade and outlines the key steps taken to modernize the Earth Observation capacity infrastructure. This innovative approach to capacity-building in space for developing economies has paved the way for the establishment of a space agency in Türkiye. We will be very happy to meet all friends and colleagues at this worldwide unique congress in Milan. Making a mark on Turkish Space History. #IAC2024 #Space #EarthObservation #ResearchturkSpace

Session formats are flexible and can include fishbowls, campfires, Orca Bowl challenges, design sprints, workshops etc. Sessions should run for 70 minutes. Need help crafting your proposal??The following file will guide you through the process of preparing a compelling submission ?? https://lnkd.in/eHakV_5e

Exciting news! ?? I am thrilled to announce that me and Sophia Wellman's paper on an SRAD Capacitive Level Sensor for Propellant Measurement of a Liquid Rocket has been selected for the 75th International Astronautical Congress, organized by the International Astronautical Federation. The paper is written in cooperation with our rocketry team Propulse NTNU ?? The capacitive level sensor provides real-time data on fluid levels, hereby enabling optimal fuel consumption, reducing waste and enhancing overall efficiency. This not only reduces the environmental impact of space missions but also contributes to cost savings by maximizing resource utilization ?? Furthermore, the implementation of capacitive level sensors enhances safety and reliability during rocket operations ?? Accurate monitoring of the fluid levels prevents potential hazards such as fuel leaks or engine failures due to inadequate propellant supply. Overall, the capacitive level sensors contribute to sustainability of space missions by ensuring the integrity of the spacecraft and the surrounding environment. We will be presenting at the space propulsion symposium ?? See you in Milan! #IAC2024

The International Astronautical Federation (IAF) has seen significant growth in 2024, with 73 new member organizations joining its membership of 563 organizations from 81 countries. The IAF has hosted numerous events, showcasing the diversity of its activities and community's strength. The 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2024) in Milan was the largest ever and one of the most diverse gatherings of space people in our galaxy. The congress had an impressive exhibition space of 11,500 m2 with 166 exhibitors. The IAF Logbook project captures the Federation's engagements and contributions to global space advocacy throughout the year. This project connects and collaborates with governments, industry leaders, academics, and civil society at key international events to address emerging challenges, advocate for sustainability, and promote equitable access to space. Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for the IAF. The Global Conference on Space Exploration (GLEX 2025) in New Delhi, India, will provide a unique platform for sharing insights on space exploration policies, programs, and challenges. The 76th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2025) in Sydney, Australia, will explore critical topics under the theme "Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth" and highlight advancements in the Asia-Pacific region. Clay Mowry, IAF President, thanks the community for their continued support and enthusiasm for the IAF's mission and wishes them all the best for a bright 2025.

?? Cities without space technology: ? Blind Urban Planning: Without satellite imagery, planners would struggle to optimise land use, leading to inefficient and unsustainable city growth. ? No Early Warnings: Natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and wildfires would catch cities off guard, increasing damage and loss of life. ? Environmental Blind Spots: Tracking pollution, deforestation, and climate change would be far less effective, leaving cities vulnerable to environmental degradation. ? Chaos in Mobility: Without GNSS, modern transport systems, traffic management, and navigation would collapse into inefficiency. ? Resource Mismanagement: Critical systems such as water distribution, energy grids, and agriculture would lack the precise data needed for sustainable management. Looking forward to connecting with anyone attending! #ESA #ESASpaceSolutions #ESABASS #SpaceTechnology #SmartCities #urban #FutureGreenCity #GreenCities #UrbanSustainability

On 14 May, Pascal Faucher, Chair of the #EUSST Partnership, intervened as a speaker in the "Space Debris" session of the Management and Sustainability of Outer Space Activities Conference, organised by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and Agência Espacial Portuguesa | Portugal Space in preparation for the Summit of the Future in September 2024. Other speakers on the panel, moderated by?Ryan Guglietta, PhD, included Sara Dalledonne, Rodrigo Pascoal, Yu Takeuchi, Quentin Verspieren and Charity Weeden. ? Pascal stressed that it is our global responsibility to help spacecraft operators from developing and emerging spacefaring nations have access to a public collision avoidance service, and highlighted that better Space Situational Awareness requires better international coordination between existing or developing #SSA systems in different world regions. ? Thanks to Hugo André Costa, Carolina Rêgo Costa and Inês d'ávila from the Portuguese Space Agency, as well as to Aarti Holla-Maini and Markus Woltran from UNOOSA, for the organisation of this event in the beautiful city of Lisbon. #EUSpace EUSPA - EU Agency for the Space Programme EU Space CNES Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain Agenzia Spaziale Italiana German Aerospace Center (DLR) POLSA Polska Agencja Kosmiczna | Polish Space Agency Ministry of National Defence Romanian Space Agency FFG Austrian Research Promotion Agency Ministerstvo dopravy ?R Royal Danish Air Force Finnish Meteorological Institute National Observatory of Athens Ministry of Education and Science of Latvia Ministry of Economics Rymdstyrelsen European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA)

Dawn Aerospace will collaborate in this first phase with CNES to review key system specifications and verify the capacity of nitrous-oxide-based propulsion solutions to align with France’s strategic objectives for leading-edge space technologies. From our office in Toulouse, we look forward to collaborating closely with CNES with France’s future space needs. Progress starts here! Read more: https://lnkd.in/dZgj4zTA

Even the "lightest travellers" (and I don't see my partner's name in that list ....), need to rely on local resources, during they trips: at least air, and often water and food. The longer is supposed to be the trip, the higher will be the request for authonomy from supply. Long-term #SpaceExploration will be enabled by In Situ Resources Utilization #ISRU. We will talk about it, the "what" and the "how" (the "why" is already very clear), with a great group of panelists, at the Plenary Event organized by International Astronautical Federation at #IAC2024, on October 15th, in Milan ! I will also report about the initiatives of the Italian Space Agency - Agenzia Spaziale Italiana in this critical field and in particular about #ORACLE project, for Oxygen/water extraction from lunar regolith, currently in progress with Politecnico di Milano (industrial partner coming soon, too). See you soon in Milan! S.
