Since then, advances in technology have made images clearer, the information coming back from space richer, and the world smaller. Today, many of us carry smartphones that have 512 megabytes of active memory, 32 gigabytes of storage, weigh less than 200 grams, and can form a real-time connection instantly to anywhere in the world. Our investments in space exploration have generated incredible amounts of data and resulted in the development of new technology that continues to improve life on Earth. The challenge before us is to leverage data and new technology to create practical applications that benefit humanity. Come make the future with us. What is the International Space Apps Challenge?
