Second to last @SGC2022 is about to start and I'm excited to say that it is an #EO panel with some folks from @NOAA, moderated by @aravind_raves.
Title is "Utilizing Earth Observations in Addressing Modern Challenges" and livestream is here:

Irene starting us off emphasizing the importance of NOAA satellites in monitoring societal impacts beyond weather: disasters, agriculture, commodities, climate change,
"Key is we have to translate what this actually means to the citizens of the world."

Next #SGC2022 keynote is Hazuki Mori on @UNOOSA's Space Applications Section and OOSA in general.
"I see that I am between you all and lunch so I will try and keep this interesting."
And Mori is currently studying sustainable development!

OOSA has three major roles
Convener: Bring together all the member states for reports, treaties, and more. See #COPUOS
Gateway: Getting space highlighted in Our Common Agenda and releasing the Space 2030 Agenda.
Capacity Builder: Specific activities, including around @UN_SDG

"We have a tiny budget compared to space agencies and only about 40 people in our office. Our mandate is growing and our resources are not."
It's a real shame. @UNOOSA does really important work and we could do with more global collaborations for space!

First keynote of #SGC2022 Day 3 is a panel with #IOAG (Interagency Operations Advisory Group) and #CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems). I managed to miss names, sorry about that!
IOAG is essentially a collection of space agencies (@NASA, @ESA, @UKspace, @JAXA_en, etc.) that makes sure communications & missions work together. More info here: ioag.org/SitePages/Home… 
CCSDS is also a forum aimed at space communication standards and functions as an @isostandards subcommittee. In addition to government agencies, it also includes >100 industrial associations.
They are also the ones who assign the official designation numbers for spacecraft!

Space Sustainability time at #SGC2022! We got
Dan Oltrogge of @COMSPOC, @LecasMorgane of @astroscale_HQ, and Al Tadros of @RedwireSpace on stage.
Livestream is here:

Dan starting off by recognizing that we are past the era of "space is big, don't worry about it."
Between ASATs, megaconstellations, and a very busy LEO, we can't ignore it anymore. Even if only ~25% of the orbit applications actually turn into reality.

@COMSPOC is an #SSA company who is thus quite invested in space sustainability.
@astroscale_HQ is a space debris removal company (who have an excellent podcast, btw)
@RedwireSpace does a lot of space hardware including sensors

Next up at #SGC2022 is Elisa Carcaillon and @gautier_brunet of @LoftOrbital. They represent two different carreer trajectories (Carcaillon went business to engineering, Brunet went engineering to business).
Carcaillon did some defense work before moving out "the ethics, maybe not"
After my own heart right there. Congrats on escaping the gravitational field of defense!

@LoftOrbital is one of those space companies moving in the turnkey model that @aravind_raves talked about in his recent payload.
They purchased buses in bulk, integrates customer payloads onto them, and then also provides orbital services.

Day 2 of #SGC2022 is starting with @dylan of @VoyagerSH. "Space is a new paradigm that inspires us to re-imagine the best version of what humanity can be... that requires that we acknowledge that we aren't living up to our very best."
Recommends Victor Frankl's "Man Search of Meaning".
Refers to conventional spaceflight as "disposal airplanes."
"It's no wonder why we haven't been back to the Moon."

First #SGC2022 keynote is @irenebenitor of @planet. All you human spaceflight fans can wait for us #EO nerds to have our turn in the spotlight.
And she starts us off right with an invitation to a happy hour on a boat!
Primary topic is DEI. Cool to see #SGAC putting this right up at the front of the agenda.
Also really pleased to hear her argue for diversity on both organizational performance and ethical grounds. Too many people in STEM just focus on the former.
