DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shimrit Maman\nNano satellites are a relatively new catego
 ry in the field of satellite technologies and space science.\nIn the past 
 years\, several Earth Observations (EO) missions using nano-satellites hav
 e been successfully launched and used\, forecasts for the upcoming years d
 isplay an increase of such missions.\nBGUSAT is an example of such EO\\rem
 ote sensing single band\, SWIR sensor via a spatial resolution of 600 mete
 rs per pixel.\nIn the seminar\, we intend to overview the satellite design
  and capabilities and to present the results of the ongoing remote sensing
  research.\n\nDr. Maman is a research associate in the Homeland Security I
 nstitute and director of the Earth and Planetary Image Facility (EPIF)\, b
 oth at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Her research deals with the app
 lication of satellite technologies (remote sensing and GIS) to environment
 al challenges and climate change. She is an integral part of the research 
 team leading BGUSAT\, Israel’s first research nanosatellite.\nShe also s
 erves as a UN-SPIDER expert\, and heads the Israeli Regional Support Offic
 e of the United Nations Platform for Space-based Information for Disaster 
 Management and Emergency Response.\nPreviously she served as the board dir
 ector of D-mars\, and is a founding board member of WiSpace\, a women’s 
 association promoting gender equality among Israeli STEAM professionals an
 d was appointed by UNOOSA as a mentor in the SPACE4WOMEN Network.\nMaman l
 eads diverse education and outreach programs promoting Science Technology 
 Engineering Arts and Mathematics (STEAM)\, using hands-on research activit
 ies\, at both the national and international scales\, including the unique
 \, all-girl\, international remote sensing science program: She Space.\n\n
 Quote by Dr. Maman:\n“Although it is a vast\, icy void\, I think space h
 olds unique opportunities for dreamers unafraid to boldly face meaningful 
 challenges”.
