IDEAMAP PUBLIC LECTURE AT UON TOWERS

Ninety percent of the people added to the planet over the next 30 years will live in African and Asian cities, and a large portion of these populations will reside in deprived neighborhoods defined by slum conditions, informal settlement, or inadequate housing. The four current approaches to neighborhood deprivation mapping are largely siloed, and each fall short of producing accurate, timely, and comparable maps that reflect local contexts. The first approach, classifying “slum households” in census and survey data, reflects household-level rather than neighborhood-level deprivation.

Taifa-1 Satellite Successful Launch

The first three launch attempts of the Transport 7 mission were called off due to unfavourable wind conditions. 

Taifa-1 satellite was launched to a Sun-Synchronous Orbit (a polar orbit synchronised to always be in the same fixed position relative to the Sun). SpaceX provides at least 3 launch opportunities to the sun-synchronous orbit under the Satellite Rideshare Program. These launch opportunities are affordable for satellite owners since the launch cost is shared amongst them.
