Rocketing to Space in New Zealand with Sarah Blyde
In this episode we talk to Sarah Blyde, the National Point of Contact for New Zealand with the Space Generation Advisory Council.
Sarah is a real-life rocket woman based in Auckland, New Zealand. After starting out making cardboard rockets, Sarah now spends her days helping to build the real thing at Rocket Lab. She also volunteers for Rocket Women, an international organization working to inspire the next generation of young women to pursue careers in STEM. In addition, Sarah is one of two National Points of Contact in New Zealand for the Space Generation Advisory Council, a global non-profit organization and network which aims to represent university students and young space professionals to the United Nations, space agencies, industry, and academia. Sarah is a graduate of the University of Auckland in Engineering and Commerce and the International Space University in Space Studies.
After her undergraduate degree, Sarah worked as an engineer in the energy industry before deciding to transition her career to the space industry by completing a master’s degree in France. After several years abroad, Sarah is pleased to be back home in New Zealand and is excited to be part of the growing space sector. In her spare time, you’ll likely find her at the beach kitesurfing, out training for her next marathon, or hiking up a mountain somewhere.
The Space Generation Advisory Council in Support of the United Nations Programme on Space Applications is a global non-governmental, non-profit (US 501(c)3) organisation and network which aims to represent university students and young space professionals ages 18–35 to the United Nations, space agencies, industry, and academia. Headquartered in Vienna, Austria, the SGAC network of members, volunteers and alumni has grown to more than 15 000 members representing more than 150 countries.
