On October 4-5 (yup, next weekend!), @NASA is calling people from around the globe to join this year’s #SpaceAppsChallenge, the largest annual global hackathon. ✨🛰️🚀
And no, it is not just about creating "apps". #SpaceAppsChallenge is not just for coders or scientists. A global finalist from Tajikstan created a comic in 2021 to tell the story of NASA's Lucy Trojan Asteroid Mission. A global winner in 2020 from Peru created mascots to help make learning about earth and space science more fun and welcoming for younger audiences. A global finalist from the US created a children’s storybook that included moving illustrations, sound effects, and engaging music in order to tell the story of Parker, the solar probe.
Also, if you are interested not in participating in the hackathon per se but are interested in (a) being a project judge (there’s a clear rubric I’d go over with you) and help nominate local projects for global prizes, or (b) being a mentor to teams, let me know. 🙂
Oggi, a #LineaRadioSavona, anche se in registrata, siamo andati a curiosare fra gli esperimenti della missione #ax4 di #Axiom#Space che ha portato lassù l'astronauta polacco dell'#ESA@esa Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski!
Grazie a chi ha ascoltato, buon sabato!🙏👋🚀 #UnoRadio
Kann die Erde vor einem Asteroideneinschlag geschützt werden? 🛡️🌎 Mit der Hera-Mission der @esa testet Europa, ob sich ein Asteroid gezielt ablenken lässt. Dafür hat das DLR das Gravimeter GRASS mitentwickelt, das auf dem Asteroidenmond Dimorphos landen und dort die Schwerkraft messen wird. Was bringt das? Ein besseres Verständnis über den inneren Aufbau von Dimorphos – Wissen, das hilft, die Erde vor künftigen Einschlägen zu schützen.

🌾 🛰️ With help of satellite observations, #AI and process-based models, the research project #EOAgriTwin creates digital twins of agricultural landscapes for climate resilient farming – powered by @esa, ZALF & partners! 🌍
🌍 TerraMind: A breakthrough in global-scale Earth observation!
Developed by JSC, IBM Research, @esa, and @DLR this any-to-any multimodal model fuses satellite imagery, elevation data, land use maps & language. TerraMind leads the field on the PANGAEA benchmark.
¡Qué importante es la divulgación científica! Juan Luis Cano de @esa hoy nos ha aclarado muchas dudas sobre la defensa planetaria. Ha sido una magnífica intervención.
