In this episode of Global Health TV, we’ll be looking at transport and health and the role of space observation in helping some of the poorest communities on the planet. We catch up with Greg Winfree, CEO and Director of Texas A&M Institute during the ITS World Congress, in Los Angeles, CA, about why traffic deaths in the US are at a 20 year high. Toks Omishhakin, the Secretary for Transportation for the California State Transport Agency discusses the challenge of improving transport for all road users and all communities. While NASA plans to land the first woman and first person of colour on the Moon, space technologies, in particular earth observations, have the potential to improve the health of communities across our own planet. At the recent International Astronautical Congress in Paris, we catch up with Simonetta Cheli from the European Space Agency.
