Space in Africa has just kicked off the 2024 edition of the NewSpace Africa Conference in Luanda, Angola. This year's focus is on "The Role of Space in Closing Africa's Poverty Gap” providing a platform for exploring innovative space solutions to address social inequalities across the African continent. #newspaceafrica2024 #spaceeconomy #spaceexploration #space #spaceindustry #spaceresearch #spacetechnology

🌍 GEO-Nigeria is excited to spotlight the South African National Space Agency (SANSA), a leading organization driving space science, earth observation, and capacity building across Africa. 🌌 During the 2024 AfriGEO Symposium in Kenya, our principal, Dr. Matthew Olumide Adepoju, Director General/Chief Executive of NASRDA, had a strategic discussion with Dr. Daniel Matsapola of SANSA. 🤝 They explored promising avenues for collaboration in areas critical to Africa's development. Key discussion points included: 📡 Earth Observation: Leveraging satellite data to enhance environmental monitoring, disaster management, and sustainable development in Nigeria and South Africa. 🛰️ Space Science: Advancing research and technology initiatives that push the boundaries of Africa's space industry. 👨🎓 Capacity Building: Empowering the next generation through training and educational programs, with a strong emphasis on youth engagement and empowerment. This partnership marks a significant step towards regional cooperation and the collective growth of Africa’s space capabilities. We are thrilled about the future possibilities and are committed to fostering a strong, impactful relationship with SANSA. 🚀 #SpaceScience #EarthObservation #CapacityBuilding #YouthEmpowerment #SANSA #GEONigeria #AfriGEO #AfricaSpaceIndustry

Nigeria’s Ambitious Step Towards the Stars 🚀 A Landmark Announcement 📢 Nigeria plans to send its first citizen into space, marking a historic milestone for the country and Africa. This initiative by the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) aims to position Nigeria in the global space economy and advance its technological capabilities. Strengthening Technological Advancements 💡 Investing in space technology will enhance Nigeria’s communication systems, environmental monitoring, and national security. This mission is expected to spur innovation and inspire young Nigerians to pursue careers in STEM fields. Collaboration with International Partners 🤝 Nigeria’s space mission will involve partnerships with established space agencies and private companies, providing essential technical expertise and resources. These collaborations will help Nigeria leverage existing technologies and best practices. Economic and Social Impact 💼 The space mission holds significant economic and social implications. Developing space technologies can create new industries and job opportunities, boosting the economy. Satellite advancements can improve telecommunications, disaster management, and agricultural productivity. This historic journey sets a precedent for other African nations, heralding a new era of space exploration on the continent. Stay tuned for updates on Nigeria’s journey to the stars. #SpaceEconomyMaster #SpaceEconomy #NewSpace #NewSpaceEconomy #SpaceEconomyInstitute #Space

This week, we celebrate the International Day of Science, Technology, and Innovation for the South, highlighting the pivotal role STI (Science, Technology, and Innovation) plays in advancing sustainable development across the Global South. For many developing countries, embracing these fields is not just about progress—it's about survival and catching up in a rapidly evolving world. In places like Angola, where I've had the privilege to contribute, projects like the Luanda Science Center (LCC), which was built by the company I worked for, demonstrate the transformative power of STI. It’s not just a science center; it’s a beacon of possibility and inspiration for the community. Explore more about LCC and see some photos: https://lnkd.in/dSws9QJU By fostering environments where learning and innovation flourish, we can empower nations to craft their own futures. Let's continue to advocate for and invest in STI to bridge gaps and build brighter futures in the Global South. #ScienceDay #GlobalSouth #LuandaScienceCenter #SustainableDevelopment

🌍 NewSpace Africa Conference: A Gateway to Growth 🚀 Key Highlights and Insights The NewSpace Africa Conference showcased Africa’s growing involvement in space technology. Discussions centered around leveraging space for sustainable development, with significant focus on the Lobito Corridor project. This initiative uses satellite data to enhance infrastructure, improve traffic management, and support agricultural productivity, demonstrating how space technology can drive economic growth and address critical challenges. 🤝 Strengthening US-Africa Relations The conference also emphasized the importance of strategic partnerships between the US and Africa. Collaborations like GLOBE and AERONET, which benefit over 40,000 African students, are key to enhancing STEM education and fostering innovation. The US’s $55 billion investment in African infrastructure underscores a commitment to leveraging space technology for governance, environmental monitoring, and disaster preparedness. 🌐 Looking Ahead The NewSpace Africa Conference highlighted the transformative potential of space cooperation. With Africa’s space market projected to grow significantly, the US and African nations are poised to jointly address global challenges such as climate change and food security. The focus on sustainable development through space technology presents a unique opportunity for deeper, mutually beneficial partnerships. #SpaceEconomyMaster #SpaceEconomy #NewSpace #NewSpaceEconomy #SpaceEconomyInstitute #Space

We'll need other more advanced CTP Propulsion Systems other than rockets to achieve true multiplanetary civilization folks. That's just the fact of the matter.🛸 #newworlds #newlife #newcivilization #toboldlygo #wherenoonehasgonebefore

WATCH | 🇿🇦❄️ As #CapeTown embraced the #HumanRightsDay weekend, the city's harbour witnessed a significant arrival. The Akademik Fedorov, emblematic of Russia's polar exploration, docked in #TableBay after months of #Antarctic research. 🌍 #CapeTown #Antarctica #Research #GlobalRelations Cape Town's historic role as an #Antarcticgateway has offered passage to expeditions for centuries, including the Fedorov, whose research also involves #climate and #geology studies. Despite political tensions, South Africa's controversial claims of 'non-alignment' afford refuge to vessels like the Fedorov as well as the Noosfera, #Ukraine's polar flagship. #Neutrality #Diplomacy #GlobalTensions Local sentiments paint a more nuanced picture. Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis's vocal opposition to Russian state vessels underscores the complexity of port access decisions, ultimately resting with the national government. #Politics #NationalDecisions #CommunityVoice Meanwhile, Russia's Antarctic endeavours continue unabated — from the inauguration of #Vostok's new overwintering complex this season, to the participation of expeditioners in this month's Russian presidential elections. Cape Town may be better known as a holiday destination topping global rankings for its stunning scenery and low prices. It remains equally sought-after by south polar traffic from across the world, even if the locals in this city on the edge of Africa, for the most part, hardly seem to notice. (Except for Nic Bothma of Matrix Images and his incredible lens. Thank you, Nic, for the collaborations and helping me capture the spirit of this gateway.)

#VantageOnFirstpost Researchers in Antarctica Develop a Bizarre New Language | Vantage with Palki Sharma Antarctica is one of the coldest and least-inhabitable places on Earth. It is so isolated that the researchers there are developing their own language. It sounds like a bizarre language with loan words from English. Why are the researchers doing this? What does the language sound like? Palki Sharma brings you the report. --- Researchers | Antarctica | Bizarre | New Language | Firstpost | World News | News Live | Vantage | Palki Sharma | News #researchers #antarctica #newlanguage #firstpost #vantageonfirstpost #palkisharma #worldnews
