The European Rover Challenge takes place in Poland on-site and remotely! It consists of two parts: the Challenge Zone and the Inspiration Zone. The Challenge Zone is a competition between autonomous rovers allowing students to showcase their skills and creativity. Students design rovers that attempt to complete a mission that were executed by agencies like NASA or the European Space Agency on a make-shift martian surface. The winner of the event is chosen by the team whose software is best prepared to complete the mission and the team who responds effectively to critical situation.

In this Space Café Radio - SpaceWatch.Global publisher Torsten Kriening spoke with Dr. Pascal Faucher, during the 6th Space Security Conference, held in Prague between the 19th and the 22nd of June 2022. Dr. Pascal Faucher is the Chairman of the European Union Consortium of Member States on Space Surveillance and Tracking since July 2017, previously acting as a French delegate to the Steering Committee and the Security Committee.

In this episode, Pascal discusses the current state of the EU Space Surveillance and Tracking Consortium. The EU SST deals with the growing complexity of the orbital environment around Earth and the risks to space-based assets due to the growing threat of orbital debris.

This is an unclassified gathering of military allies and national security experts and it's very unique in its style and content, because it openly discusses about security issues related to the current geopolitical climate with people directly involved with dealing with security issues, thus creating an ideal set-up for dialogue and ideas exchange.
