I am happy to have made my first presentation at TPRC conference. This was a unique opportunity to present our work with my PhD advisor Edward Oughton on Universal Assessment of Low Earth Orbit Satellites 🛰 in narrowing the broadband gap in such a prestigious conference.

It is exciting to see how Dorcas Nthoki, a PhD (astrophysics) student at Technical University of Kenya , displays her DARA certificate with enthusiasm. Their two-weeks training, at @GSTTI in Ghana, focused on the technical aspects of radio astronomy.Thanks DARA Project for the amazing opportunity

Great observation this morning of the #DARTMission target Didymos and Dimorphos by Montgomery School #WorkingWithNASA #PlanetaryDefence Comet Chasers 🔭☄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Faulkes Telescope Las Cumbres Observatory It is moving quickly now against background stars - so we've learnt we need shorter exposures next time
