NEO Renaissance-SGAC NEO-PG Competition 2024 Winner
We can’t wait to announce the winner of the much-awaited NEO Renaissance, SGAC NEO-PG’s poster-making competition this year! Participants in the competition were encouraged to use their artistic expression to investigate and visualize Near Earth Objects. After an impressive display of artistic and scientific creativity from participants around the globe that ranged from depictions of NEOs themselves to imaginative scenarios involving their potential impact, the spotlight falls on Chanud Sithipreednant from nmagine Creative Laboratory (N-LAB) and the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) for his brilliant work!!
Chanud’s poster stood out for its combination of artistic flair and scientific detail, presenting a compelling and thought-provoking vision of planetary defence. His winning entry, titled “Humanity’s Spear” under the category “Planetary Defense Heroes: How would you defend our planet from an asteroid impact?” is a magnificent piece that offers a glimpse into a future in which we will be better equipped to defend our planet. The poster imagines a world where humanity has united to form a dedicated “Planetary Defense Force” to protect Earth from the asteroid and near-earth object impacts. It showcases a prodigious asteroid redirection mission, assisted by kinetic impactors, support spacecraft, and contingency warheads to manage remaining debris.
