Emeline Paat-Dahlstrom (born 1966 in Quezon City, Philippines) is a Filipino-American space ecosystem builder, educator, author, and entrepreneur...[1]

Early life & education

[edit]

Growing up inspired by the Apollo Moon landings and science fiction, Paat-Dahlstrom holds a BS in Physics from the University of the Philippines[2][3]and an MS in Earth and Space Science from York University, Canada. She also took courses in Space Studies from the International Space University (ISU),[4] and General Management from Cambridge Judge Business School.

Career

[edit]

Paat-Dahlstrom's career in space began with a scholarship to ISU's summer space program after graduating from college. She later joined the company as its academic coordinator and deputy program director where she helped develop its first Master's in Space Studies Program[5] and managed its summer space studies program for five years[6]

She later joined space tourism company Space Adventures Inc., contributing to the missions of private citizens to the International Space Station (ISS) such as Dennis Tito, Anousheh Ansari, and Richard Garriott.

She became the first Filipino national to experience simulated outer space conditions through ZeroG flight training.[7] At Singularity University (SU),[8] Paat-Dahlstrom served as Chief Impact Officer and Executive VP of Operations, where she helped launch a graduate program focused on advanced technologies in space, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence and robotics, medicine, biotechnology, networks and computing, and energy.

The idea was to combine the knowledge gained from using these exponential technologies to solve global grand problems and challenges.

Migrating to New Zealand, Paat-Dahlstrom co-founded SpaceBase[9]under the Edmund Hillary Fellowship Program[10] with her astrophysicist and aerospace engineer husband Eric Dahlstrom. SpaceBase aims to democratize opportunities in the space sector by co-creating space ecosystems in developing countries, starting with New Zealand (NZ).[11] The couple launched the first NZ Space Challenge in 2018 and followed it up in 2019.[12] In 2021, they launched the regionwide Space for Planet Earth Challenge, focusing on leveraging satellite data to address climate change[13]

She is also on the International Advisory Committee of the 'Alliance for Collaboration in the Exploration of Space[14]' and is an Institute for Space Commerce Fellow.[15]

She co-founded International Space Consultants, providing consulting services to start-ups like Ceres Robotics Inc.[16] and Extraterrestrial Power.[17] Paat-Dahlstrom also worked with Odyssey Moon and Moon Express, start-ups aiming to provide commercial transport to the moon, and on business development for Orbital Astronautics.

Recognition

[edit]

Paat-Dahlstrom and her husband were awarded the 2023 KEA World Class "Friends of New Zealand" Award for their contributions to the development of the New Zealand Space Sector.[18]

Views on space and climate change

[edit]

Paat-Dahlstrom advocates for democratizing access to space and believes in using space technology to address climate change.[19] She highlights the importance of satellite data in monitoring climate change and has led initiatives like the "Space for Planet Earth Challenge" to engage students and start-ups in finding solutions to global issues.
