🗞️ Check out this great article written by Eurisy on the 8th edition of the #CASSINI Hackathon!

Another Polish edition of the CASSINI Hackathon is over, and I’m very proud of what our team has achieved! This time, we had over 180 applicants, forming 24 teams, who worked hard both onsite and online. 18 teams finalized their solutions and presented them to the jury on Sunday. From what we heard, these are the highest numbers in the history of CASSINI Hackathons. We were fortunate to have the support of 22 mentors from Poland and abroad, who guided the teams throughout the 48 hours of intense work. The event was made possible thanks to the dedication of 25 partners, who contributed funding, expertise, and promotion, as well as the hard work of the teams of Blue Dot Solutions and Gdański Park Naukowo-Technologiczny over the past months. This edition focused on the theme EU Space for Defence & Security, and it’s encouraging to see so many people recognizing the importance of these areas nowadays and contributing their ideas to tackle related challenges. I’m particularly happy that the team taking 1st place, Space Rodeo, was formed by Ukrainian students. Their project addresses the problem of space debris and orbital congestion with a risk assessment tool to help satellite operators avoid collisions. Today at 18:00, they’ll represent Poland in the European Grand Finale, and I encourage you to watch the live stream (link in the first comment)! Congratulations also to: Look Around – 2nd place, for their drone navigation system that works offline. AI Lab – 3rd place, for their solution to plan routes in difficult terrain after natural disasters. A big thank you to everyone who participated, supported, and helped make this hackathon possible.

Last weekend, my amazing team and I secured 2nd place in the Netherlands at the 8th CASSINI EU Space Hackathon! Hosted at the Dutch Innovation Factory in Zoetermeer, we competed alongside 12 talented teams in the Netherlands and over a 1000 participants in all of Europe. With just 48 hours to brainstorm, build, and pitch, we developed NorthStar, a life-saving web application that leverages the Copernicus ecosystem to predict flood-prone areas and guide users to safety. Whether it’s avoiding flooded roads or identifying secure shelters, NorthStar empowers communities to make critical, timely decisions during natural disasters. As climate change continues to escalate the frequency of natural disasters, solutions like NorthStar are essential to safeguard lives and reduce the impact of crises. This project represents the power of innovation in solving real-world problems. Earning 2nd place was a huge honor, but the experience of collaborating with such a talented team and learning from industry experts was the real reward. A massive thank you to the CASSINI Hackathon organizers Martijn Seijger and Kacia Rutkoŭskaja , industry experts like Andrei Bocin-Dumitriu and Angelique Jagtenberg and my brilliant teammates—Abbas Hussain, Ayudh Haldar, Divo Abimanyu, Marom Sverdlov, Yusef Ahmed, Salaheldin Nounou and Yunsu Kim. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without your dedication and creativity. Let’s continue innovating for a safer and smarter world. #Hackathon #Innovation #GeospatialIntelligence #SatelliteData #CASSINIHackathon #EUSPA #DotSpace #GroundStation.Space

I gained a lot of knowledge and discovered things beyond the ordinary thanks to the #BharatiyaAntarikshhackathon.

Since we started Skynopy, we constantly asked ourselves how we can improve things: services 📡 , products 📻 , processes 🔄 ... and (why not), social events ? 🍸 👨🚀 👩🚀 Next week, 2000 space industry people are gathering in Paris for #WSBW24 organised by Novaspace (Merger of Euroconsult & SpaceTec Partners) (congratulations to Emeline Bardoux and her team 💪 ) 🇫🇷 What could Skynopy offer to them as a true Parisian experience, being in our hometown, that would be different from standard reception with standard cocktails in standard places ? 🎳 We decided to gather people around a very unique Parisian square (kept secret for now) and around a typical French game: PETANQUE 💥 That is already quite original, is that all ? No We also thought it would make this gathering special if some inspiring Space related VIP could attend and participate: 🌟 Etienne KLEIN – French physicist and philosopher Not to be too dramatic but imagine the conversations you could have with someone who holds the mysteries of space and time in the palm of their hand 🧠🌌 🌟 Michel Tognini – French astronaut and former head of the European Astronaut Center We may not be playing pétanque in space (yet 😉), but you can still toss a few with someone who’s been there! 👩🚀✨ ⏳ Spots have already filled so fast! Don’t miss your chance to be part of this special evening. Comment below to RSVP and secure one of the last remaining tickets 👇. At Skynopy, we believe that our role is to connect 📶 #WSBW #SDSS #SpacePetanque #Skynopy #SpaceIndustry #Networking
