SAR satellite data aids civil protection, environmental monitoring, and provides intelligence for national defense.

ENEO (Evaluating Near Earth Object Impacts), created by engineer Alexandros Notas at the National Technical University of Athens, translates complex space-physics models into practical civil-protection scenarios.

The distinction was awarded in recognition of a groundbreaking experiment involving deep-space laser communication.

The mission of Greek satellite DUTHSat-2 is to monitor the environment, enhance disaster response, and strengthen civil protection.
