Abstract

With the rapid increase of extreme weather
throughout the world due to climate change,
economic from disasters are now reaching
a global average of US$350 billion worldwide,
according to the latest UN reporting. Although 
predominantly there has been progress, in 
global education about risk reduction, this has
only led to reductions in mortality rates. One 
of the major challenges has been, and 
continues to be, the lack of a system which is
able to get the relevant information to the right
people in real time. Relevant solutions must
be able to first locate the relevant data, 
assess it and then distribute it as viable
information globally, so that there may be
provisions for the needs of the injured
populations such as water and food security,
especially to those populations most
susceptible and so that damages to other
populations may be mitigated when the
inevitable occurs. 
This paper will discuss the findings realized 
during the research and design of
Xplore.Space. Explore.Space is a new
integrated space and ground system project
which will quicken the identification, analysis
and application for dispersing vital
information. Xplore.Space includes: (i 
advanced sensors in the payloads of a
of small and micro satellites for Earth,
(ii) the use of space based 
telecommunications system, and
(iii) the use of newly developed 
cognitive computing methods together
with improvements in 
deep data mining techniques. Some of the
concepts behind the design are commonly
used in military planning, yet they do not
apply to the population at large. However,
However, the advent of new commercial
constellation companies, components
and sciences is expected to 
enable integrated
space-ground systems to solve problems
related to humanitarian risks, especially
in light of the brutality of climate change upon
the world's population. This integrated end-to-
end solution is expected to cast insight into
the scale and orientation of of its use.
