DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Nattanon Dungsunenarn (Spaceth.co)\nBetween 2020 and
  2026\, Thailand has made significant progress in the development of satel
 lites\, scientific payloads\, and spacecraft missions. As the number and c
 omplexity of these projects continue to grow\, one challenge becomes incre
 asingly important: how can engineers and scientists communicate their miss
 ions to the public in a way that is accurate\, engaging\, and easy to unde
 rstand?\n\nSpaceth originated as a media outlet\, but its role has gradual
 ly expanded toward bridging the gap between engineering teams and the publ
 ic. One recurring problem is the lack of high-quality visual assets\, incl
 uding accurate 3D models\, technical illustrations\, animations\, and reus
 able media materials. Drawing inspiration from the visualization practices
  of NASA and ESA\, Spaceth has adapted similar approaches for Thai space m
 issions by combining scientific accuracy with visual storytelling.\n\nThis
  presentation examines three case studies: MESSE sub-orbital mission\, TIG
 ERS-X ISS mission\, and MATCH aboard the Chang’e-7 lunar mission. Althou
 gh these missions differ in scale and scientific objectives\, their commun
 ication strategies share several common elements: 2D and 3D visualization\
 , a clear mission narrative beyond the traditional press release\, and the
  development of assets for both owned media and earned media. Together\, t
 hese elements help transform a scientific payload from a technical object 
 into a story that the public\, journalists\, educators\, and stakeholders 
 can understand and share.\n\nThe presentation also explores how scientists
  and engineers can work effectively with 3D artists\, illustrators\, anima
 tors\, designers\, and other multidisciplinary experts. It discusses the c
 ommon ground between technical and creative teams\, the information artist
 s need from engineers\, and practical workflows for maintaining both scien
 tific accuracy and visual clarity.\n\nFinally\, Spaceth will introduce a c
 ommunication playbook for space missions\, designed to help mission teams 
 plan their visual assets\, narrative\, media materials\, and public commun
 ication from the early stages of development. The central argument is simp
 le: mission communication should not begin after the spacecraft is finishe
 d. It should be designed as part of the mission itself.\n\nhttps://indico.
