Keynote
Dr. Emmanuel Proven-Adzri is an astrophysicist at the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute (GSSTI), Ghana Atomic Energy Commission.
Dr. Proven-Adzri was a Royal Society-Leverhulme (UK) Africa postdoc fellow at the University of Leeds, UK and GSSTI. He completed his PhD in Physics (Astronomy). His PhD focused on methanol masers, an astrophysical signpost from the regions where stars are being formed in faraway outer space. His research interests cover methanol masers, star formation, galaxy evolution, radio telescope instrumentation, applications of high-performance computing (HPC), big data, machine learning, computational science, and engineering.
We aim to leverage space tourism platforms as a catalyst for promoting education among African youth, introducing them to cutting-edge technologies and inspiring the next generation of innovators, scientists, and space explorers through interactive and immersive space tourism experiences.
Arinc Instruments is now coming out with new products that allow the public to upgrade existing avionic products the need for the Original Manufacturers (EOM) and to create new modular avionic products themselves.
Arinc Instruments' past successful projects/products include voice & data flight recorders, video flight recorders, complete inflight entertainment systems, cockpit interfaces, defense telecommunications systems, military platform condition-based health management systems, and much more.
As Africa accelerates its space ambitions, Ernest Teye Matey stands at the forefront of shaping the future of satellite-driven space architecture, ensuring that the continent is an active participant in humanity’s expansion beyond Earth.
At the Global Satellite Conference 2025, Ernest will contribute insights on:
-
The Role of Small Satellites in the Future of Space-Based Infrastructure
-
Africa’s Position in the Global Space Economy & Emerging Satellite Technologies
-
Designing Sustainable & Modular Satellite Systems for Future Space Missions
-
Bridging Terrestrial and Orbital Networks for a Connected, Smart Planet
TOPIC
IoT and multi-orbital communication transfers
Futuristic Space Architectural designs for Moon and Mars telecommunications and bandwidth

Currently, his research work is on monitoring methanol masers to determine their
periodicity. Science commissioning of the 32-meter radio telescope for single-dish and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) operations and cultural astronomy in Ghana.
He is currently the Manager of the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO) in Accra where he oversees the science operations and coordinates the maintenance of the telescope. He is also involved with training Young Africans with basic skills in Astronomy and data science through the DARA Newton Fund and PRAGSAC projects.
