UN-SPIDER Beijing Conference: Space-based Technologies for Disaster Risk Reduction

The UN-SPIDER Beijing Office and China's Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM) will organize the "The United Nations International Conference on Space-based Technologies for Disaster Risk Reduction - Early Warnings for All", scheduled to take place in Beijing later this year in November.

China Boosts Africa's Meteorological Capabilities with Fengyun Satellites

Ahead of the upcoming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing, China has significantly enhanced meteorological cooperation with Africa through its Fengyun satellite program. Since 2018, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) has provided essential weather data to 30 African nations, strengthening disaster response and forecasting capabilities across the continent.

CogniSAT-6 AI Satellite Enhances Earth Object Detection

The CogniSAT-6 satellite, developed by Ubotica, has successfully used artificial intelligence (AI) to autonomously detect 37 ships entering the Galveston channel. This marks a major advancement in satellite technology, particularly for disaster risk management and emergency response.

UNOOSA and University of Bonn Renew Partnership via the SPEAR Project

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the University of Bonn have renewed their partnership, reinforcing their commitment to leveraging space technology in response to growing threats from natural and human-made disasters. This five-year agreement, signed today in Vienna, extends the "Spaceborne Earth Observation Applications for Emergency Response and Disaster Risk Reduction" (SPEAR) project, focusing on African nations.

Introductory Webinar: Ask NASA ARSET: Radar Remote Sensing for Flood Monitoring

This is event is available for participation on an ongoing basis

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signals can “see” the surface of the Earth during the day or night, and under nearly all weather conditions. In addition, the signal can penetrate through the vegetation canopy and detect inundation. These capabilities are unique to radar and make it an ideal sensor for flood detection and monitoring.
