The global landscape appears to be shifting towards a new focal point, with the United States demonstrating a renewed interest in the Pacific region. The growth of social networks has significantly accelerated cultural expansion, while emerging technologies have enabled an actor with seemingly limitless capabilities to unleash and finance conflicts in ways that were previously unthinkable, albeit now called unconventional wars. Against this background, the European Union has had to confront the reality of the limitations imposed by certain states. Currently, forced to pursue a strategy of strategic independence, it is uncertain how much autonomy it will be permitted and where it will be constrained. The United Kingdom has also joined the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), while countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Chile are assuming new roles. This marks a new era in which the West has assumed a forward position and in which the dominance of outer space is once again at the forefront. Space strategies have adapted to the new scenarios, and others have gained considerable momentum. This is exemplified by the Chilean Space Program, SNSAT.

The third Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite was successfully launched into orbit on September 5 aboard the final Vega rocket from Europe's spaceport in French Guiana. The satellite will continue to provide high-resolution data essential for the Copernicus-European Earth observation program. Sentinel-2C was launched at 03:50 CEST on September 5 (22:50 local time on September 4) and separated from the Vega rocket at around 04:48 CEST.

In this session ESRI’s Founder and CEO Jack Dangermond and NVIDIA’s SVP Bob Pette will discuss the ongoing innovation of accelerating GeoSpatial workflows with GPUs. Utilities are saving thousands of hours processing lidar data with deep learning. Cities are building interactive digital twins. Traffic cameras are becoming powerful sensors to make smart cities even smarter. Virtualization allows faster computing to be accessible from any device anywhere. ESRI is offering spatial data and analytics to developers with a new platform as a service (PaaS). In the end, everything can be connected to the NVIDIA Omniverse.

Airbus and the German Armed Forces are collaborating on a new satellite system for secure communications. The project aims to enhance Germany's military capabilities with advanced space technology, offering improved global connectivity and strategic advantages

Lemu Nge ("Forest Eye" in Mapudungun) is a nanosatellite designed to observe Earth's biodiversity. Equipped with a high-definition hyperspectral camera, this satellite will make it possible to analyze global vegetation biodiversity at 20 times the current resolution.
