DESCRIPTION:Prof. Kristian Pedersen\nDTU Space is leading several high-pro
 file space research technology projects and examples of these will be pres
 ented in this talk: Coatings for hard X-ray optics (e.g. NuStar)\, star tr
 ackers\, radar- and radiometer systems (e.g. POLARIS)\, and space magnetom
 eters (e.g. Swarm).\nKey research results obtained from these instruments 
 will also be presented\, e.g. models of the Earth’s magnetic field\, glo
 bal sea level reference models\, melting of Greenland’s ice cap\, and pr
 operties of neutron stars. Most of the activities strongly benefit from in
 ternational collaborations with\, e.g. NASA and ESA\, and now we are reach
 ing out for collaborations with EPFL.\n\nKristian Pedersen is an astrophys
 icist with many years of experience in astronomy\, space research and deve
 lopment of instruments for satellites. In addition to participation in spe
 cific satellite projects KP is involved in the development of national and
  international strategy and policy for space research and space applicatio
 ns.
