Karen Jones - Space Economist

On this episode, I have an engaging conversation about the space economy and its global environmental impact with Karen Jones, who is a Senior Policy Analyst in the Center for Space Policy and Strategy at the Aerospace Corporation.

Karen has extensive experience advising governments, policymakers and companies on the environmental impacts of space. Her research is helping shape responsible practices, ensuring space will be approached with conservation in mind, while also aiming at preserving life on Earth. We discuss the environmental role of the space sector including remote sensing for methane emission, space based solar power, and monitoring of fishing activities on earth.
