Not many would immediately associate distant satellites with imminent problems, but Caryn knows that space-based Earth observation holds the key to answering many of humanity’s most complex questions, from food insecurity to ecosystem conservation. If to understand our planet is to observe it, then the sky is no longer the limit - it’s the start.
