Come work with us.

PSI Fellowship applications are now open! 🚀 The second round of our fellowship will focus on Earth Observation for Gaza, exploring how satellite data can support justice, accountability, and sustainability. Application form: tiny.cc/psi-fellowship Deadline: November 10, 2025

Our @palestinespace.bsky.social database of 82 companies and their complicity in the genocide or supply of the zionist arms industry is now public. We also now have a database of products & their documented use in the genocide. Fill out the form for access. www.palestinespace.org/psi-database

In fact the opposite, I stopped hearing from all the space freelancers overnight !

And remember when we revealed that at least half of NASA spending—$39 billion—goes to companies that arm the zionist entity and the funding was in part for weapons development And no one picked that up or particularly cared

Remember when we revealed that NASA had purchased hundreds of lethal firearms directly from Glock for border patrol at NASA sites and no one picked that up or particularly cared

Last year, PSI launched its Fellowship Program to support critical research at the intersection of space, justice, and decolonization. Join us this upcoming Monday, October 27 at 7pm CET, for our inaugural Fellowship Showcase. Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

AJ (Link) is our comrade at @palestinespace.bsky.social and he would love you to click this link and read about PSI’s work. Hope I said Link enough. Link

On Monday, @palestinespace.bsky.social is holding a fellowship showcase with talks from our 2024 fellows, alongside our announcement of Round 2. I'll also present 2 years of work on our community resource, the Space + MIC Database. Information & registration: www.palestinespace.org/psi-fellowship

What journalist is going to cover that there are 36 genocide profiteers at one of the biggest space conferences in the world? Some have legal filings against them for war crimes? Read more: palestinespace.org/iac2025 #IAC2025 #SpaceComplicity

This event is 63 years to the day after Hazem Zaki Nuseibeh, Rep of Jordan & proud Palestinian, spoke to the UNGA. First, about space & the need for law - but law as pathway to justice, as right over might. Then, he moved directly to what that would mean for Palestine. docs.un.org/en/A/PV.1138

Then came the quote that's haunted me today: "If there should be a continuance of the present attitude of complacency and indifference to the plight of... Palestine, can we in all honesty ascribe it to anything but an attitude of inertia, of unwillingness, rather than to an inability to act?”

just spent 5 hours writing up results of looking at spectral satellite images over Gaza for @palestinespace.bsky.social... the world should burn... what will you do today to stop this...

If someone agrees that space is a "province of all (hu)mankind" - but then draws a line at Palestinians - they're telling on themselves...

Now is a very good time for folks to reconsider the links between the MIC and space exploration. This week isn't the first time I've been advised to be ready to jump to a defense contractor to "survive" as a planetary scientist, and it won't be last. Really makes you think!!

As the genocide in Gaza continues, the IAC is about to take place under the theme of "Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth." But what does it mean to celebrate "sustainable" space while profiting from the violence of war and colonialism on Earth? Register at palestinespace.org/iac2025

Anyway you don't have to just take my word for it, @palestinespace.bsky.social's database has all the info you need on just how intertwined NASA and the defense industry are: www.palestinespace.org/psi-database

“What space companies do we know also make weapons that are involved in the genocide in Gaza…we identified 51 companies.” Read the report from @palestinespace.bsky.social: www.palestinespace.org/psi-database

So…as a remote sensing scientist with @palestinespace.bsky.social: Maxar builds spacecraft for the entity specifically to surveil Palestine. (And, along with Planet, embargoes public data *seemingly right before* atrocities happen—for newspapers.) These are lynching photos. From genocidaires.

@palestinespace.bsky.social found that in a 2023 financial report, TELEDYNE cited two risks to their business: 1. PALESTINE ACTION 2. ANSAR ALLAH

forthcoming from @palestinespace.bsky.social

On Land Day, we recognize the enduring Palestinian struggle for land and rights, and we shed light on how it relates to space. From remote sensing to maps, surveillance, and the military-industrial complex, space technology plays a pivotal role in shaping our world. #LandDay #Palestine #PSI

This is touched on in @palestinespace.bsky.social’s report (“Circular economies”) - US and European governments handing commercial designs and hardware to the entity which later sell its back or contract with US/Eur governments, with the example of the Heron UAV. www.palestinespace.org/psi-database

#SpaceComplicity cf: www.palestinespace.org/psi-database from @palestinespace.bsky.social

If you ever want someone to come rightfully politicize your astronomy classes, working groups, research labs, student organizing circles by walking through the implications of this ^ - I do this for free, any time, anywhere.

Not enough people reading this, printing it out, sending it to colleagues, sharing it at journal clubs. 50.2% of NASA funding goes to 29 companies profiting from the genocide of Palestine. The contracts are for…death-making technologies. via @palestinespace.bsky.social

the NASA figure is via @palestinespace.bsky.social’s database, report, & NASA case study that identify 50+ companies that supply both space and the IOF, 29 of which have NASA contracts that’ve been paid $39 billion on active contracts alone. 50.2% of all spending www.palestinespace.org/psi-database

remember that @palestinespace.bsky.social found that NASA itself estimated it had, in just one year, increased the value of the US weapons market by $130 million (in that ^ pdf)

PSI is speaking at the Contemporary Developments in Space Ethics conference organized by The Open University! Join us on March 21 at 10 AM GMT for our panel on Justice, where we’ll unpack the concept of spacewashing and its ties to militarism and corporate influence in space. #Spacewashing

What does ethics have to do with space, and what does a Mars rover have to do with Palestine? @adeenedenton.com & I will explore this (and more!) during our lecture & discussion series with @workshops4gaza.bsky.social to benefit a family in Gaza. Sign up: www.workshops4gaza.com/calendar/rei... 🧪

So excited to partner with @divyampersaud.com and @workshops4gaza.bsky.social for this two-part workshop in January! I'll be giving an intro to space ethics and the choices space exploration asks us to make, and Divya will explore the ethics of Mars imaging and how it relates to dual-use.

We are at the 2024 United Nations Conference on Space Law and Policy this week, hosted by UNOOSA in Vienna, Austria. Our Human Rights & Policy Lead, AJ Link, will represent PSI as we aim to contribute to critical discussions on the intersection of space law, policy, and human rights.

The work continues. Join us, @palestinespace.bsky.social, Palestine Youth Movement, Caltech SJP, Justice in Geoscience, (Un)Common Cosmos, and more on Nov. 17 to learn how to mobilize, how to bring your peers into organizing, and how to envision a better future—then work towards that future 🇵🇸

The best, most comprehensive documentation of how financially intertwined space exploration and the defense industry really are is the database created by @palestinespace.bsky.social, accessible here: www.palestinespace.org/psi-database

#PSI is presenting at the #IAC2024 in Milan next week! October 15: The Palestine Space Institute: Disrupting a Cultural of Space Militarism, Colonialism, and Imperialism. October 17: Space as a Zone of Peace: Envisioning a Resolution for the Demilitarization of Outer Space. #SpaceForPeace
