The Karman line is the 100km altitude used by FAI and many other organisations to mark the “boundary” of space. In the last few years there have been many scientific and technical discussions around this demarcation line for the “edge of space” and variance around this as a boundary condition for recognition of “astronaut” status.
The 1960s was a time of rapid innovation to drive humankind’s forays into space, with the USSR and the USA competing to break world records. The decade commenced with Yuri Gagarin of the USSR making his first manned orbital flight in space and ended with the famous broadcast footage of the US moon landings.
Noosphere, an organisation focused on scientific research and information provision, has been the FAI’s Global Technical Partner since early 2017.
For the FAI, this partnership has allowed access to the highly efficient event management system eNavigator, which was used with great success at a number of competitions in 2017 – including The World Games.
Here, Noosphere co-founder Max Polyakov explains why his company’s cutting-edge technology is such a perfect fit with the air sports world.
