The space industry is undergoing a transformative phase driven by rapid advancements in sensor and digital technologies. This rapid evolution, characterised by unprecedented speed, is reshaping how we collect, analyse, and utilise data from space. The convergence of ICT breakthroughs, such as cloud computing and storage, alongside a sensing and connectivity revolution, has ushered in a new era of big data.

Abstract

This wealth of dynamic data presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to extract meaningful insights. This presentation will showcase some of ESA’s research and partnerships, encouraging collaboration to harness the synergies of big data and AI for innovative space services, with a particular focus on rapid response and disaster management within the framework of the Civil Security from Space (CSS) programme.

About the Speaker

Pierre-Philippe Mathieu is the ESA implementation manager of the Civil Security from Space (CSS) programme at the European Space Agency (ESA), aiming to bring together space technologies (e.g. Earth Observation, secure connectivity and navigation), with digital technology (e.g. AI) to enable rapid and resilient response to crisis and develop new space-based market opportunities. He spent 20+ years working in the field of environmental and ocean modelling, weather risk management and remote sensing. He has a degree in mechanical engineering and M.Sc from University of Liege (Belgium), a Ph.D. in oceanography from the University of Louvain (Belgium), and a Management degree from the University of Reading Business School (UK).

History

Starting in the summer of 2020, the International Space Science Institute has organised the weekly on-line seminar series called “Game Changers”. After six series of weekly talks on the themes of “Missions that Changed the Game in Solar System, Astrophysics and Earth Sciences” , “Ideas and Findings about the Solar System, the Universe and our Terrestrial Environment”, “Habitability – From Cosmic to Microbial Scales”, “Viewing Earth from Space – the Changing Environment and Climate of our Planet”, and “Captivating Cosmology: From the Big Bang to Tomorrow” and the topic “Space Environmental Hazards: Mitigation and Prediction”, the webinar series continues on a monthly basis.
