#ICYMI: Our CEO Anousheh Ansari discussed the opportunities and challenges of space exploration at #GESDASummit earlier this week! Check out the full photo gallery on GESDA - Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator’s Flickr ⬇️
From Science to Diplomacy at the #GESDASummit How can the international community anticipate future breakthroughs, and ensure a secure, inclusive and sustainable use of the Outer Space? The GESDA’s 2024 Science Breakthrough #Radar® presents an anticipatory landscape on space exploration: extraterrestrial resources, such as minerals, resources for fuel, construction and sustenance for space-based communities, and solar energy would be valuable on Earth and in pursuit of human goals in terrestrial orbit and beyond. At today's panel discussion introduced by Enrico Letta, with Anousheh Ansari, Hellmut Lagos Koller, Tanja L. Masson-Zwaan, Daria Robinson, M. Muñoz, and our stakeholders from the Diplomatic Community, we discussed about the role that multilateralism should play today to anticipate the future opportunities and challenges facing space exploration.

Google Lunar XPRIZE alumni Independence X Aerospace was just awarded a patent for Malaysia's and Southeast Asia's first liquid propellant rocket engine, as well as the world's first fuel cell-powered rocket! Congratulations to the entire team on this momentous milestone!
Dear esteemed colleagues, network, and friends, I am pleased to share that we have been awarded a PATENT for Independence X Aerospace's groundbreaking work on Malaysia's and Southeast Asia's first liquid propellant rocket engine, as well as the world's first fuel cell-powered rocket. This innovative specially designed and developed cryogenic rocket engine is driven by our advanced fuel cell system, which integrates deep tech and nanotechnology. Notably, it operates as a net carbon-zero rocket system, utilizing fuel sourced from local Malaysian agricultural waste biogas. This accomplishment reflects our team's hard work and dedication, allowing us to innovate and lead rather than follow. Our rocket technology is engineered to achieve greater heights and distances with reduced mass, enabling us to lift heavier payloads than our competitors. Looking ahead, our goal is to develop the Dedicated Nano Launch Vehicle (DNLV), a satellite launch vehicle highlighted in NASA's State of the Art Small Spacecraft Technology. Together we build our first ever Malaysian Launch Vehicle to reach outer space to do great things and beyond for the benefit of the nation, human race and our planet. I humbly thank you for your great support. Go GREEN and Go SPACE, Be Cool and Responsible.

The #XPRIZECarbonRemoval team recently visited Kelp Blue, a finalist team working to restore giant kelp forests along the coast to rewild the local marine ecosystem. 🌱 Kelp Blue is deeply connected with the community, employing locals and producing a kelp-based biostimulant that’s used in their Lüderitz test farms and by Namibian farmers. We had the opportunity to meet with local policymakers and natural scientists, who commended Kelp Blue’s focus on ecosystem restoration and community engagement. The innovative technology behind their approach stands out. Kelp Blue removes carbon from the water through photosynthesis, and as the kelp grows, it releases organic material—some of which sinks to the ocean floor. This natural process sequesters carbon long-term, contributing to the fight against climate change. 🌊 Kelp Blue’s technology-driven model shows how nature-based solutions can support both environmental and economic sustainability. To learn more about how Kelp Blue and other XPRIZE Carbon Removal finalist teams are standing at the forefront of cutting-edge CDR solutions shaping the industry today, read our blog here. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gDjTiPaR

How can AI be used in wildfire risk prediction, mitigation, and management? This article from Harvard Technology Review deep dives into the role of AI and machine learning in managing destructive wildfires (and it also features #XPRIZEWildfire team Dryad Networks)! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gszZVZmx Destructive wildfires are continuing to grow exponentially each year, leading to loss of life, property, and biodiversity. XPRIZE Wildfire is a 4-year, $11M competition incentivizing teams to harness technology, like AI, to rapidly and accurately detect, characterize, and respond to wildfires before they become destructive. Learn more about XPRIZE Wildfire here. https://lnkd.in/gfXbt6ch
