Hello Everyone,
I assumed the position of Chairman of the IPNSIG effective September 1st, 2020.
It is my belief that the Inter-Planetary Network (IPN) will one day become a resource for all humankind enabling exploration, science, innovation, commercial activities and connecting everything together that compose our normal daily lives.
Therefore, IPN is a Global subject to be discussed amongst a variety of groups and people, involving not just Governments and Space Agencies but also private sectors, academia and ourselves as well.
IPNSIG could become the leading initiative to lay out visions for IPN and long-term roadmaps for expanding engagement and communication with many of these stakeholders. To expedite such efforts, the board decided to launch a few Working Groups (WG’s) within the SIG. Mike Snell will be reaching out to you for more details on the WG objectives and opportunities for your participation in WG’s that interest you.
We must do this together as a team.
I’m excited to join in this endeavor with all of you as we broaden the scope of IPNSIG while increasing the scope and impact of our activities.
Let us take the first bold steps forward toward the future of IPN.
Thank you.
Yosuke Kaneko
Chairman of IPNSIG
