Emeline is one-third of the SpaceBase team, and is joined by her husband and co-founder Eric Dahlstrom and co-founder Rich Bodo, both also EHF Fellows. They chose New Zealand as the perfect place to develop and grow a democratised platform for Space, due to open skies, a lack of overhead flight paths, friendly Government and a culture of DIY innovation.

Connecting with NZ’s innovation ecosystem

After settling in Wellington, Emeline and the SpaceBase team are keen to connect with people in New Zealand’s Space ecosystem, to initially create an open sourced NZ Space Directory of who’s who in the industry. They’re looking for general information on individuals, organisations and companies currently working, or connected to any space related activities in NZ or abroad. Please feel free to get in touch via the SpaceBase website if you’d like to help them with this endeavour or if you have any names for the list. They are also always looking for advisors, mentors and volunteers who can help us do the research as well as develop the website and platform.

For those Space-enthusiasts who are keen to follow the team’s activities and Space news, you can join the SpaceBase NZ group on Facebook or the Space Meetup group in Wellington.
