The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance (MDAA) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to cooperate in the field of space sciences, which can include space-based observations looking down on the Earth, particularly over the Pacific region, as well as looking at the stars and other planets.

“This program is one important step toward making Hawaiʻi the nation’s center for space-based observation of the Pacific,” said UH Mānoa Provost Michael Bruno. “There is a real need to better understand what’s going on in the Pacific.
