On 24 March 2010, during the 2010 Spring Meeting, the IAF presented the 2010 Space Update at the premises of UNESCO in Paris.
Three major speakers participated on Wednesday 24 March, hosted by UNESCO in Paris.
This year’s Space Update featured a talk entitled Disaster Help from Space, presented by Gunter Schreier of the German Space Center’s (DLR) DFD division.
