SUMMARY:KNUST’s 1st MoonDay Celebration – 2025
DESCRIPTION:KNUST’s 1st MoonDay Celebration\, taking place on 19th June 2025\, is a landmark event commemorating International Moon Day with the global theme “One Moon\, One Vision\, One Future.” The celebration will bring together students\, faculty\, and the broader community for a day of talks\, seminars\, and dynamic discussions centered on lunar science\, lunar exploration\, and the significance of a moonbase for Ghana’s future. \nThe event will feature keynote presentations from local experts and MPhil Astronomy candidates which covers “The Origins of the Moon”\, “Cultural and historical significance of the Moon” and “How the moon affects our lives today” and interactive Q&A sessions where students can engage with astronomers\, and two major student debates: “How Helpful Will a Moonbase Be for Ghana?” and “How Ethical is Mining on the Moon?” A dedicated segment will introduce the KNUST MPhil Astronomy & Astrophysics programme—the first locally trained astronomy programme in Ghana—highlighting its achievements and encouraging applications for the upcoming cohort. The entire event will be captured online to broaden participation and create a lasting resource for future students. This celebration aims to raise awareness about lunar science\, promote space education\, and inspire KNUST’s community to take part in shaping Ghana’s vision for space and science.

SUMMARY:"From the International Space Station to the Lunar Space Station: Italy's Key Role and Opportunities for Latin America"
DESCRIPTION:Participation in the WSW is part of IILA’s initiatives in the field of science and space diplomacy\, including the noteworthy “Meeting of Space Agencies of IILA Member Countries\,” now in its fourth year\, and the project to build the first satellite mission by two IILA countries\, Panama and the Dominican Republic. It offers an opportunity to explore humanity’s journey to live sustainably and long-lastingly\, first in orbit and then on the lunar surface\, aiming one day to reach Mars. This journey\, through the use of innovative technologies that seek to make space a safe habitat\, with careful attention to astronauts’ needs and comfort\, allows them to face and overcome increasingly challenging challenges\, bringing to reality scenarios that were only a dream until recently. Space technologies have also opened up possibilities for a more sustainable future on our planet\, with positive implications for Latin American countries as well.
