This is exactly what The Karman Project is about - inspiring global space leaders to come together across borders to proactively address the opportunities and challenges they are passionate about, with their knowledge, networks and resources. During Karman Week 2024, Emma Gatti (Editor-in-Chief at SpaceWatch.Global) dreamed up a new idea for positive communication about the critical role that space technologies serve for communities around the Earth. She felt that the Global South was underrepresented in storytelling - and teamed up with Mani Thiru, who has supported from some of the most innovative #spacetech companies within the Asia-Pacific and beyond. Check out their new podcast - #SpaceForGood - below. Episode 1 features Divya Sharma from SatSure - a company that was co-founded by Karman Fellow Prateep Basu ✨ Worlds colliding!

I'm thrilled to partner with my friend Emma Gatti on something new we dreamed up after our inspired get together in the Maldives last year, thanks to The Karman Project. Welcome to Space For Good, the podcast that explores how cutting-edge #space science can help humanity thrive, support the environment, and foster fairer wealth distribution. We delve into how #technology can drive a new economic system centered on community, environment, and real world needs. Emma is a planetary scientist and geologist with a PhD from the University of Cambridge and two post-docs from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech. If you're a space aficionado, you may have seen her a few times this year on the BBC! She's currently Editor in Chief SpaceWatch.Global. In each episode, I'll be offering my views on space tech's impact for the global south, while teasing out the thought processes behind novel innovations as well learning more about the #entrepreneurs pioneering change. If you're interested in sharing your story (especially if you're from the global south community), please reach out - we'd love to have you on our show. In this first episode, we get chatting with Divya Sharma Vice-president AI/Ml at SatSure on fighting poverty with #satellite intelligence that supports farmers in #India with financing.
