Timiebi Aganaba works in global space governance law and environmental advocacy. Aganaba’s work promotes regional collaborations among countries to maximize the presence of emerging countries and marginalized groups. She is well-known in her industry for promoting the regulation of aeronautic technologies to be utilized against climate change. This has expanded to the use of satellites to measure greenhouse gas emissions as well as other remote sensing methods. She is an assistant professor for the School for the Future in Innovation in Society with a courtesy appointment at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law. Aganaba has received the Space Leaders Award from the International Astronautical Federation. She has served as the executive director of the World Space Week Association and a legal officer for the Nigerian Space Research and Development Agency.

Greg Autry is an expert in entrepreneurship, macroeconomics and space policy. His research focuses on governmental roles in the emergence of new industries especially within the global commercial space industry. Professor Autry teaches space leadership, policy and business in the Thunderbird School of Global Management. He has been a notable advocate for space exploration and development, serving as Chair of the Safety Working Group in the FAA Commercial Space Transportation Advisory Committee (COMSTAC), and as vice president of the National Space Society and the Beyond Earth Institute.

Craig Hardgrove's research focuses on thermal infrared and nuclear remote sensing of the moon and Mars. He is the principal investigator of the LunaH-Map mission, the first planetary science mission designed, built and operated by ASU. The LunaH-Map CubeSat mission will orbit the moon to map hydrogen-rich deposits in permanently shadowed regions. Hardgrove has experience working on many Mars rover and orbiter missions and is a collaborator on the Mars Science Laboratory rover's DAN instrument. He is working to develop next-generation neutron and gamma ray detectors, specifically on small spacecraft like CubeSats. His research specialties include remote sensing of terrestrial and other planetary surfaces, spacecraft instrument development, Mars surface geology and improving planetary rover software by incorporating thermal infrared imaging and machine learning. His organization, Astrum Terra, aims to bring real science data from planetary spacecraft to the video game industry.

Jim Bell is a planetary scientist, educator, author, public speaker, and President of The Planetary Society. He is heavily involved in NASA solar system exploration missions like those of the Mars rovers Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity. In all he has roles on seven NASA missions either flight or in development. In 2011 he received the Carl Sagan Medal for Excellence in Public Communication from the American Astronomical Society. As professor in the School Of Earth and Space Exploration, Jim runs an active research program spanning many students and topics. Currently, active areas of research in his group include surface mineralogy and weathering history of Mars, surface composition and mineralogy of the Moon, and geologic processes on the surfaces of terrestrial planets, moons, and asteroids.

As a geologist and geophysicist, Phil Christensen's research interests focus on the composition, processes, and physical properties of Mars, the Earth, and other planets. Christensen is a professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and has built five science instruments that have flown on NASA missions to Mars. His discovery of crystalline hematite in Meridiani Planum was instrumental in that area's choice as the landing site for the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. He was awarded NASA's Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal in 2003 for his pioneering scientific observations of Mars in the infrared.

Professor Lucy Berthoud researches technology for travelling to and living on the planet Mars, as well as sample return missions to planets, comets and asteroids. She teaches spacecraft design at the University of Bristol. Lucy is advancing the excellence of space education in the UK. She has set up and co-chaired a UK-wide Teaching and Learning network for Space Engineering and Science HE staff: the Space Universities Network (SUN). SUN brings together university teachers and researchers from across the country to share ideas and enhance student space education. This organisation has a national profile and allows universities to share ideas, case studies, guest speakers and other resources. Together, members have prepared a response to government questions on Brexit, consulted with industry to see what skills are sought from graduates and lobbied satellite licensing authorities for better terms for universities. Lucy believes that by pooling resources and working together, UK universities can help their students to reach for the stars. Lucy works part-time for the UK spacecraft manufacturer Thales Alenia Space, where she works on future space mission concepts. She has presented a TEDx talk on Life on Mars and been chosen by students as one of the ‘Best of Bristol’ lecturers. Lucy holds a Master's in Mechanical Engineering with Distinction from the University of Bristol and a PhD in Space Physics from Sup'Aero/ONERA (French National Research Organisation) in Toulouse, France. She is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and was awarded a University of Bristol Teaching Fellowship in 2016. Her previous research projects have included: - MBSE for early design of spacecraft missions. - Radiation modelling of Martian Habitats. - Volcano plume detection via CubeSat. - Designing a deployment device for 50+ CubeSats. - Selecting an asteroid for mining. - Thermal and power design for a Ganymede Penetrator Probe. - Thermal design for a Europa Penetrator Probe. - Ultra low altitude SAR microsat. - Ultra low altitude hyperspectral imager and SAR microsatellites. Accomplishments: 2015 - Voted by students ‘Best of Bristol’ lecturer 2018 - Nominated by students for an Outstanding Teaching Award in Engineering 2019 - National Teaching Fellowship You can find out more about Lucy on her University profile at: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/people/person/Lucy-Berthoud-d29400ff-6007-4674-a40c-9d63e790604a/ Lucy has a profile on Research Gate at: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Lucy-Berthoud Lucy can be found on Twitter at @lucy_berthoud.

Professor Javaan Chahl is DST Group Joint Chair of Sensor Systems and has been with UniSA since 2012. Prior to this, he served as a Professor of Aerospace at RMIT University and before that he was at the Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group, with whom he still works closely. Professor Chahl earned his Ph.D. in Neuroscience & Robotics at the Australian National University. Professor Chahl has published over 200 full length refereed articles and has been referenced by other researchers more than 5,000 times. His research provides ample evidence of his breadth of expertise including avionics for drones, medical technology, space exploration, neuroscience, and behavioural biology. High points of his career have included working with NASA Ames developing Mars exploration technology and supporting his military colleagues. His research is multidisciplinary, collaborative and encompasses both theory and application. As a Research Degree Supervisor, Professor Chahl is highly sought after as a supervisor and mentor and is responsible for a large and diverse group of graduate students. His research students have gone on to attain senior academic and government research positions in Australia and overseas. He encourages collaboration, communication, with a focus on innovation, new products and new applications.

Jason Barnes studies the physics of planets and planetary systems and is the deputy principal investigator on the Dragonfly mission — an endeavor to send a robotic rotorcraft lander to Titan’s surface as part of the NASA New Frontiers Program.
Named for its insect shape, Dragonfly's primary mission will last a little over two years. With eight rotors, the dual-quadcopter will fly from site to site on the alien moon and sample the icy crust and hydrocarbon sands. It is outfitted with a vacuum to suck up samples, a drill for coring and instruments to perform chemical analyses.
