Update. "#NASA ordered to destroy fully functional carbon-monitoring #satellite despite its vital #climate data contributions."

"NASA is facing backlash after reportedly being ordered to destroy a fully operational satellite that plays a crucial role in monitoring the Earth’s atmosphere. Imagine a perfectly good, high-tech spacecraft gathering invaluable data on carbon dioxide – a key player in climate change – only to be sent hurtling back into our atmosphere to burn up."

On October 4-5 (yup, next weekend!), @NASA is calling people from around the globe to join this year’s #SpaceAppsChallenge, the largest annual global hackathon. ✨🛰️🚀

I’m (once gain) running the official Local Event for Copenhagen in-person at the Republikken co-working space in Vesterbro: <https://www.spaceappschallenge.org/2025/local-events/copenhagen/>.

⭐Create #SpaceApps teams with a variety of backgrounds and skill sets
⭐Use open data from #NASA and from 14 Space Agency Partners (including @esa) to address challenges (https://www.spaceappschallenge.org/2025/challenges/) we face on earth and in space
⭐Engage and learn from NASA Subject Matter Experts (via a dedicated GitHub Discussions forum: https://github.com/nasa/spaceapps/discussions)
⭐Participate for the chance to win one of the ten Global Awards

And no, it is not just about creating "apps". #SpaceAppsChallenge is not just for coders or scientists. A global finalist from Tajikstan created a comic in 2021 to tell the story of NASA's Lucy Trojan Asteroid Mission. A global winner in 2020 from Peru created mascots to help make learning about earth and space science more fun and welcoming for younger audiences. A global finalist from the US created a children’s storybook that included moving illustrations, sound effects, and engaging music in order to tell the story of Parker, the solar probe.

You can register here: https://www.spaceappschallenge.org/2025/

Also, if you are interested not in participating in the hackathon per se but are interested in (a) being a project judge (there’s a clear rubric I’d go over with you) and help nominate local projects for global prizes, or (b) being a mentor to teams, let me know. 🙂
