Science & Technology

On Wednesday October 30, 2024, at 7pm-8pm EDT (23:00-00:00 UTC) the Interplanetary Networking Special Interest Group (IPNSIG) presents an IPNSIG Academy Keynote 'Lunar Communications for the Artemis Program'. "High-Rate Communications Across The Lunar Surface" was listed within the top 5 of NASA ESDMD's Shortfall Ranking in 2024. Lunar communications require ground stations on Earth, comm relay satellites orbiting around the Moon, and lunar surface networks such as 5G technologies. As a Japanese telecommunications service provider, KDDI has a long history of providing wired and wireless networks and satellite communication services. This keynote will cover how KDDI collaborates with space agencies and other companies to expand its capability to the Moon.

For over 70 years, the UWI Seismic Research Centre (SRC) has monitored volcanic and seismic activity in the English-speaking Caribbean, covering 19 active volcanoes. This presentation reviews the Centre’s contributions to hazard assessment and volcanic risk mitigation in a challenging multi-hazard environment. Despite advancements in monitoring techniques like seismic and geodetic networks, maintaining preparedness has been difficult due to volatile volcanic and political conditions. The SRC’s role in managing crises, such as the 2020–2021 La Soufrière eruption, underscores the importance of collaboration with authorities and communities. Lessons learned from these efforts highlight the need for adaptable communication and innovative technology in future monitoring efforts.
