🌌🚀👨‍🚀 At Number 5️⃣ of the #UNOOSATop10 highlights of 2024, we’re giving a shout out to the work of our Space Applications Section (SAS), that has delivered capacity-building workshops, launched strategic partnerships to help developing countries access space, and conducted exciting experiments. 

Here’s a few highlights from 2024: 

1️⃣ 🇻🇪 A team from Universidad Central de Venezuela won a Fellowship Programme opportunity to carry out a combustion test in microgravity, which helped understand the effects of microgravity on the welding of aerospace aluminium alloys. This was conducted through UNOOSA’s "Drop Tower Experiment Series" (DropTES), which is in partnership with the ZARM and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). 

2️⃣ 🇵🇭 HyperGES, in partnership with European Space Agency - ESA - A team of researchers from two universities in the Philippines - – the University of San Carlos and Holy Name University - made use of ESA’s Large Diameter Centrifuge to test the “bioprinted bone generation”/ the growth of bone cells in hypergravity, as well as help support seaweed farming communities across the country. Read their story here: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Technology/Philippines_team_add_hypergravity_for_stronger_bone_cells 

3️⃣🛰 The Payload Hosting Initiative, in partnership with Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre, provides nations with access to satellite platforms, focusing on payload development and data analysis. 

🌍 Two teams from Moldova and UAE have been selected to launch their payloads into orbit aboard the PHI-2 mission. 

🇲🇩 The team from Universitatea Tehnică a Moldovei will test new satellite positioning technologies and explore how nanosensors endure space radiation— a leap forward in space navigation and sensor applications. 

🇦🇪 UAE start-up, Madari Space, will explore AI-powered data storage and debris detection systems, pioneering the future of data management in space. 

4️⃣ 📢🛰🌌 UNOOSA & Exolaunch are STILL offering the opportunity to deploy up to two 1U-3U CubeSats with Exolaunch’s EXOpod deployment system. Application deadline to apply is 31 December. See the project page here: https://lnkd.in/d6BqAtjb
