NGO “Association Noosphere” and Planetarium Noosphere organized an educational and entertaining event

Over our years in existence, we have united a community of people who love science, space, technology and innovation. We held many events and achieved many successes together, and we’d like to tell our story in numbers.

Two years ago, Ukrainians’ lives were divided into before and after. However, despite the danger, difficulties, and air raid sirens, Ukrainians have not given in, but instead continue to live and develop their country with redoubled zeal.

The past year has been full of challenges, interesting events, achievements and even records for Association Noosphere. We have a lot to remember and a lot to be proud of in 2023. So let’s share its highlights.

Key points from a lecture by Tim Florer, head of the European Space Agency’s Space Debris Office.

The second round of the Noosphere Engineering Race is complete, and the jury has named the 11 finalists who will advance in the competition. Noosphere Engineering Race (NER) is the first Ukrainian competition based on the American VEX constructor.

Noosphere traditionally holds Star Track, an innovative tournament in rocketry and space technology, in November. On November 21, the fifth such tournament was held virtually, due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, 37 participants from Dnipro, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv and Cherkasy presented 13 projects at the event.

ActInSpace is an international innovation contest initiated by the French Space Agency (CNES) and supported by the European Space Agency and the ESA’s Business Incubation Centres network. It has been held since 2018. On November 13-14, 2020 around 3600 competitors from 61 cities took part in the hackathon.

This autumn is full of new competitions and initiatives from Noosphere. We recently told you about Noosphere Engineering Race, a brand new method of robotics competition in Ukraine based on the American VEX construction. In this article, we present another original contest – Noosphere Art Rocket Park.
