EAGLES rock(et) the World Space Forum 2024

m

December 4, 2024

Laura – 8th gen EAGLE and in the last week of her internship at UN-SPIDER – and Sunniva – 7th gen EAGLE and working as a student assistant at the DLR’s space agency – together happen to help organize the World Space Forum (WSF) 2024 in Bonn.

Surrounded by representatives of the international space agencies and governments, private companies and researchers, they follow panels on current and pressing topics such as international cooperation to support RS data accessibility and expertise, sustainable space and lunar activities and the handling space debris. They attend dinner receptions and met the German geophysicist and Astronaut Alexander Gerst.

Even though they are usually busy with mapping floods and changes of forest structure, this event places the work of remote sensing scientists in a much larger context, sensibilizing to not only address sustainability issues on earth but also in space.
