Dakota Midday: Frank Kelly, EROS

Frank Kelly, Director of EROS.  People from 15 space agencies around the world met in South Dakota.  Members of the International Charter, Space and Major Disasters gather twice a year to share updates and monitor progress.  Frank Kelly says the Charter provides a birds-eye perspective on devastating disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis.  Kelly takes over as chair of the charter for the next six months. The charter is called upon nearly once a week to respond to mapping a disaster.

Cara Hetland is the Director of Radio and Journalism Content for South Dakota Public Broadcasting.
