The first episode features Juan Carlos Cortés, Director General of the Spanish Space Agency and President of the Council of the European Space Agency (ESA), as the main guest.
The recent push for missions like Artemis and the anticipation for the total solar eclipse on August 12 reinforce citizen interest in space and its impact on daily life.
The CITT Space of the Foundation for Knowledge Madri+d announces the launch of the new season of From Madrid to Space, the podcast of the Cluster of Technological Innovation and Talent in Space Technologies of the Community of Madrid, an initiative that seeks to bring the latest news from the space sector closer to professionals, companies, institutions, and citizens.
This new season arrives in a particularly favorable context for space outreach, marked by a renewed social interest in everything related to aerospace exploration and technology. The boost of international programs like Artemis, which has returned the Moon to the center of public conversation, along with the anticipation generated by the upcoming total solar eclipse on August 12, have contributed to reawakening citizens' curiosity about space and its direct influence on daily life.
After a first season of great reception, the podcast returns with new episodes focused on the main challenges, technological advances, and strategic opportunities of an increasingly relevant industry for competitiveness, innovation, and economic development.
The first episode of this new stage features the participation of Juan Carlos Cortés, Director General of the Spanish Space Agency and President of the Council of the European Space Agency (ESA), in a conversation led by Francisco Marín, director of the cluster.
During the interview, some of the most relevant keys of the current European space context are addressed, such as the record investment approved at the last ESA ministerial, the reinforcement of Europe's positioning as a space power, and the role that Spain is playing in strategic areas such as navigation, communications, and launchers.
Furthermore, the episode focuses on the direct impact that space has on citizens' daily lives, as well as on highly current challenges such as space security, space debris management, and new opportunities linked to exploration, with the Moon as one of the main horizons for development.
With this new season, De Madrid al Espacio reinforces its vocation to become a reference channel for disseminating knowledge, generating conversation, and making visible the talent that positions Madrid as one of the main hubs of space innovation in Europe.
The podcast is available on the main audio and video platforms such as Ivoox, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube, facilitating access to an increasingly broad audience interested in understanding how space is part of the present and the future.
