About the Talk:
Over the past decade, space activity has undergone a remarkable transformation. This rapid expansion is not just a technical achievement but also presents significant challenges and new opportunities.
Mapping the solar system is becoming increasingly essential–not only to protect Earth but also to support future exploration and drive economic development in space.
After the talk Dr. Lu and other members of the Asteroid Institute team will demo the ADAM – a robust astrodynamics online platform and help folks set accounts if interested.
