The SENSORIA Program is a new endeavor that opens up the space sector to a more diverse cohort of potential stakeholders. Its inaugural mission, SENSORIA M1, was the first all-female mission at HI-SEAS, and the program is running its second (M2) and third (M3) missions of 2020 in November and December, respectively. The crew of SENSORIA M1 present their thoughts on the future of crewed space exploration and share highlights of the research completed they completed on their mission, from a novel crew cohesion training program, to following the evolution of microflora between the habitat and crew, to field testing equipment, developing gestural languages for use on extravehicular activity, and even considering how to ritualize death when repatriation is not an option.

Every year, petabytes of imagery are acquired by satellites orbiting our planet. These images capture everything from the effects of climate change on our corals reefs, to deforestation in the Amazon, to monitoring food security around the world. Machine learning offers a way to utilize these vast amounts of data to their fullest capabilities. This presentation will cover some of the most impactful examples using high spatial and temporal resolution imagery from the Planet Labs constellation of satellites combined with the longstanding heritage of lower resolution coverage from NASA’s Landsat and ESA’s Sentinel programs.
