This was a key message during day one of the GMES Southern Africa regional stakeholder workshop, held at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) on Monday.
GMES and Africa is a continent-wide initiative that is a result of the longstanding cooperation between Africa and Europe.
Why DART is a mover and shaker in planet defense: NASA science chief | Space
NASA's science chief says a spacecraft plunging towards an asteroid will be a big hit for planetary defense.
The mission is the first-ever demonstrator of kinetic impact. That's one method by which we can nudge threatening asteroids out of the way, Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA's associate administrator for the science mission directorate, told Space.com.

In contrast to astronauts, many of whom have written memoirs, few space agency leaders write books about their time in office or other topics, like former NASA deputy administrator Lori Garver in Escaping Gravity .
China launches 2 satellite missions 40 hours apart | Space
China just launched two missions less than 40 hours apart, sending three satellites to Earth orbit.
The action began on Saturday (Sept. 24) at 6:55 p.m. EDT (2255 GMT; 6:55 a.m. Beijing time on Sept. 25), when a Kuaizhou-1A solid rocket carrying the Shiyan-14 and Shiyan-15 spacecraft lifted off from northern China's Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.
Neptune and rings shine in photos from new space telescope
Launched less than a year ago, the $10 billion Webb is spending most of its time peering much deeper into the universe. Astronomers hope to see back to almost the beginning of time when the first stars and galaxies were forming.
NASA's Voyager 2 was the first spacecraft to see Neptune in all its gaseous glory, during a 1989 flyby. No other spacecraft have visited the icy, blue planet.
Leadership changes at NWOSU's Department of Natural Science | Local News | enidnews.com
Northwestern Oklahoma State University has new leadership in the Department of Natural Science, as Dr. Jenny Sattler assumed the role of chairwoman, replacing chairman Dr. Steven Maier, who recently assumed the role of dean of faculty.
"Dr. Sattler is an active member of the campus community who involves herself in a variety of activities at Northwestern, both academic and co-curricular," said James Bell, vice president for academic affairs.
Space junk worries prompt new action by NASA, Congress | Space
NASA and the U.S. Congress have joined the chorus urging action to reduce the threat of space debris.
Big satellite constellations that are being assembled by companies such as SpaceX , along with a Russian anti-satellite (ASAT) test in November 2021 that threatened International Space Station operations numerous times, are likely fueling these discussions, due to worries about space ...
Beyond Gravity: Mission-critical supplier for exploration - SpaceNews
Many international science missions use key technology from Beyond Gravity. One example is the NASA Artemis moon program, which uses technology from Beyond Gravity (formerly RUAG Space) for the powering of its Orion crew capsules.
Beyond Gravity computers have a strong track-record for institutional missions. For example, the company develops and produces the computer for the European planet-hunting mission PLATO, scheduled for launch in 2026 or Europe's Jupiter icy moons mission JUICE.
Water vapor from Tonga's volcanic eruption could warm Earth for years | Space
Recently, researchers calculated that the eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apa spewed a staggering 50 million tons (45 million metric tons) of water vapor into Earth's atmosphere , in addition to enormous quantities of ash and volcanic gases.
Tonga's eruption, which began on Jan. 13 and peaked two days later, was the most powerful witnessed on Earth in decades (opens in new tab) .
Have we found the origins of fast radio bursts? | astrobites
First Author's Institution: School of Astronomy and Space Science, Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210093, China
FRBs are interesting both in and of themselves, since we still don't know what creates them, and as cosmological probes of the universe. While today we focus on figuring out the origins of these enigmatic events, this other Astrobite focuses on one of the cosmological uses of FRBs.
