GISTDA (Thailand) poster (February 2026)

Document: ip-gista.pdf, one page, 24,328,226 bytes, from https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ (sources/manifest.csv). Listed as "GISTDA (Thailand)" on NASA's Architecture Workshops page, "Hosted here with partner permission" (Architecture Workshops page). The workshop was on 24–25 February 2026 (deck). Text: sources/text/docs/2026-03-ip-gista.txt holds only print marks, so the poster was read from the image (sources/raw/slides/2026-03-ip-gista/slide-01.jpg).

Whose material. GISTDA's own poster, not NASA's architecture (SCHEMA, "Workshop slides").

Summary. "Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), Thailand": what Thailand does in space and "Artemis TH's 4 Pillars". Like ASA's poster, it has no workshop footer.

What the poster says

  • "Artemis Accords": "Thailand joined the Artemis Accords in 2024 to enhance cooperation with NASA on sustainable lunar and deep-space exploration."
  • "International partnership": the IMEWG and ISECG logos, unexplained.
  • "Space technology & AIT capability": in-country hardware manufacturing and testing, "providing AIT facilities and satellite components".
  • "Space traffic management": "GISTDA developed ZIRCON, a space traffic-management system to assess collision risks for THEOS and THEOS-2".
  • "Space weather": monitoring and forecasting "for aviation safety under ICAO standards".
  • "Space exploration": "The TLC experiment studies liquid crystals in microgravity on the ISS".
  • "Space agriculture": "Mahidol University leads Thai space agriculture and life-science research on the ISS and with ESA, supporting future Moon to Mars human exploration."
  • "Space food": "Thailand's first space-certified Thai dish", approved "for astronaut consumption on Axiom Mission 4".
  • "Artemis TH's 4 Pillars", as printed: "Space Transportation, Capability on accessibility" ("Lower cost mission", "Spacecraft/ space tugs", "Descent and ascent systems"); "Backbone Infrastructure, Capability on accessibility" ("Flight software/ STM", "Deep Space Network ground station"); "Moon Surface R&D, Capability for Moon surface infrastructure and R&D" ("Robotic mission", "Space food", "Space biology", "Space medicine"); "Cis-Lunar R&D, Capability for Cis-Lunar infrastructure and R&D" ("Gateway", "Liquid crystal", "Material science", "Space weather and high energy Physics", "Lunae surface mapping from Cis-lunar").

Against the architecture (the wiki's comparison)

  • GISTDA is not among the nine agencies ADD Rev C lists in joint technical studies (ADD Rev C, pp. 84–86; RT-1). The poster names no NASA element other than the Gateway, under "Cis-Lunar R&D". No "Moon Base".

Oddities

  • The name. NASA's page and the poster say "GISTDA"; the file name says "gista".
  • The text layer is a print header: the PDF's own file name, a page number and "2/11/26 9:56 AM", plus colour-bar labels. The image shows the same marks at its edges.
  • "Lunae surface mapping" is printed so.
