Dr. Minoo Rathnasabapathy, a research engineer and program lead at the MIT Media Lab, has been selected for the 2025 Karman Fellowship Program. Her work focuses on advancing data-driven climate intelligence and promoting the long-term sustainability of the space environment. Each year, the program recognizes 15 global leaders for their outstanding contributions to the space sector and their commitment to advancing its future.

Throughout the year, Fellows engage with influential figures in science, technology, business, policy, and the arts, and make personal commitments to advance space-related efforts for the betterment of humanity.
