SPECIAL GUEST: SOLANGE CUNIN (Cuberider)
The space industry is more than just astronauts and moon landings. It is essential for maintaining satellites, keeping our telecommunications running and collecting data about earths environments. Australia however doesn’t have its own space industry and has to rely on other countries to monitor our landscapes and and keep our phones lines working. According to many commentators it is time that this changed and Australia should start investing in space programs.
Entrepreneurs Solange Cunin and Sebastian Chaoui are finding unique ways to get Australia into space with their educational startup Cuberider. Schools can take part in real life space missions by programming data sensors that are sent up to the international space station. Its an amazing world we live in when school kids can become pioneering space explorers and learn about science, space and technology all at the same time.
In an interview with In Situ Science Solange Cunin tells us about how an early fascination with the stars, inculcated in her by her ‘hippy’ parents, lead to her studying mathematics and starting a career in space exploration and startup development.
