Ms. Wilson presented on small satellites and international development in Session 8-7: Earth Observations for International Development. Her talk covered recent Secure World Foundation events on this topic and gave the audience a sense of both the possibilities of how small satellite data can be used in international development projects as well as an overview of the challenges.
