Attendance at the Space Studies Programme at the International Space University (Anna Wojdecka)
Category: Applying new space technologies to solve environmental problems on Earth.
Institution: Royal College of Art and Imperial College London.
My goal is to apply the latest new, exponential technologies to address global challenges, innovation, new exponential technologies. At NASA Ames, Singularity University, I’ve expanded my knowledge on new exponential technologies. I want to contribute my multidisciplinary skills to the rapid development of the space sector. This year I’ve been honoured to be accepted to Space Studies Programme at the International Space University, where I will develop a space focused project within a team. I see ISU as a crucial step in my career to design for space. My strongest asset is the ability to applying the principles of design and innovation across new disciplines.
I am particularly interested in the applying new space technologies to solve environmental problems on Earth, like air pollution. Utilising technologies like hyperspectral imaging and microsatelite swarms opens new opportunities to detect, identify and visualise toxic gases globally. As I believe humans are bound to become multi planetary species, I am also very passionate about designing solutions to enhance Space Exploration. During the time at ISU an interdisciplinary and intercultural team will be formed to bring together design, engineering, science, humanities and passion for Space.
