Projects should directly support the mission of DeSci to innovate scientific research by exploring novel mechanisms of funding, conducting, and disseminating scientific research in an open, inclusive, and accessible manner.
SpaceRadar's approach to engaging the general public in innovation challenges related to the space industry promotes a form of scientific research funding and dissemination that is both inclusive and accessible.
DeSci projects most commonly support this mission by building and testing necessary technological infrastructure, but projects may also be eligible if they are deploying existing DeSci infrastructure in a scientific research context or if they are educating and recruiting members of the scientific community to contribute to the mission.
While SpaceRadar is associated with scientific research and community engagement, it is not clear from the provided information if the project involves building or deploying technological infrastructure in line with DeSci's common supports, or if it works on educating and recruiting scientists in the context of DeSci.
Concrete examples of issues covered by the DeSci mission include: the data reproducibility crisis and archaic data sharing practices; misaligned incentives and poor practices in scientific publishing and peer review; financial, linguistic, and academic barriers to globally inclusive research; intellectual property, patents, and financial incentives to trade progress for profits; academic disconnect and poor science/health literacy and trust in the lay public and government representatives.
SpaceRadar appears to focus on tracking space missions and facilitating payload sharing for lunar explorers, which does not directly address the concrete issues such as data reproducibility, publishing practices, or barriers to research that are typical of DeSci's mission.
