The third National Space Conference (NSC) will take place at the CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa from 20 to 22 August 2025, with the theme “Space for Societal Resilience, Transformation and Intelligence”.
The conference is organised by the National Earth Observations and Space Secretariat (NEOSS) and the South African National Space Agency (SANSA), an initiative and entity of the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI), in collaboration with key national partners such as the South African Air Force (SAAF).
As South Africa confronts complex challenges, from climate change to energy and food security, the National Space Conference 2025 provides a strategic platform to explore how space science, Earth observation, and digital intelligence can drive national resilience and inclusive development.
