UniSA launches Global Executive MBA in Defence and Space
The University of South Australia is collaborating with American and British partners to launch a Global Executive MBA in Defence and Space, the first program of its kind in Australia.
Leveraging the growth of two key sectors and the recent AUKUS strategic alliance, the MBA will address critical skills gaps in defence and space and help build a pipeline of talent across Australia, the Unit Satellites help scientists track dramatic wetlands loss in Louisiana
New research uses NASA satellite observations and advanced computing to chronicle wetlands lost (and found) around the globe.
From Lake Pontchartrain to the Texas border, Louisiana has lost enough wetlands since the mid-1950s to cover the entire state of Rhode Island. Using a first-of-its-kind model, NASA-funded researchers quantified those wetlands losses at nearly 21 square miles (54 squ Copernicus LSTM Expansion mission helping climate change adaptation
The Land Surface Temperature Monitoring (LSTM) programme led by Airbus has successfully passed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR). The approval of this milestone with ESA confirms that the satellite design is compliant with all mission requirements ensuring that mission objectives and user needs will be met.
LSTM is part of the Copernicus programme established to fulfil the need among Eur Alpha Data powers NASA's climate change mineral dust detector on Space Station
Critical elements of a new instrument attached to the International Space Station (ISS) this summer, and designed to examine the chemical composition of atmospheric mineral dust, is powered by hardware from high-performance electronics company Alpha Data.

Going to the Moon was the first step. Staying there is the next ambition.
ESA is a key partner in NASA’s Artemis programme, which aims to return people to the Moon by the end of the decade. Dozens of other international public and private missions are setting their sights on the lunar surface in the coming years.
But to achieve a permanent and sustainable presence on the Moon, reliable and autonomous lunar communications and navigation services are required.
This is why ESA is working with its industrial partners on the Moonlight initiative, to become the first off-planet commercial
