The world has many challenges in this century that require more science and technology, not less, to address. To make those choices about addressing these challenges, we need a scientifically informed electorate. 1/N

Outstanding demonstration by Australia's HEO of a world-leading capability... Congrats Will!

Making space manoeuvrable.

At T-Minus, @drwillcrowe announced HEO’s two new rendezvous offerings: sovereign software that enables any satellite with propulsion and a camera to perform a rendezvous, and rendezvous on demand, bringing inspection missions from years of preparation to potentially hours.

We are living in the era of the polycrisis in which unexpected events impact and reinforce each other - for organisations to better prepare and weather such a period requires greater creativity in forecasting such futures and greater flexibility in preparing for these scenarios

The first CME to the party has rung the doorbell at L1! While we wait for more info on Bz, a quick reminder that if you try to see the aurora over the next few days please make a participatory science report to aurorasaurus.org. Clear skies!✨🦕
Graphic reads: Calling all aurora chasers! If you see the Lights tonight, please make a participatory science report to aurorasaurus.org. By providing ground truth data, you can help scientists answer questions and improve models. If yu try and are not able to see aurora, making a negative no report also helps! Make a participatory science report to Aurorasaurus: let's light up the map!
