1. Remote sensing

Kazakhstan was also working with the Russian Federation on space and aviation technology and remote sensing.

Regional collaboration efforts in space technology applications began in 1983 with the ESCAP UNDP Regional Remote Sensing Programme, which was developed to assist the countries of the region in meeting the need to work together in the use of remote sensing technology for development.

(e) Regional remote sensing centres

Remote sensing and drug control

The pricing and independence of remote sensing data were critical for the integration of remote sensing into national programmes.

The research council of Zimbabwe established a subcommittee on remote sensing in an attempt to coordinate remote sensing activities in the country.

Throughout the year, the FS used such remote sensing technology as AVHRR imagery from NOAA satellites to implement early warning measures.

In 1987, ERSI was inaugurated as a service centre to spearhead advances in the use of remote sensing and GIS technology.

The Committee further noted that remote sensing technology was used for tracking Rift Valley fever, dengue fever and other infectious diseases.

Space technology in developing countries should be related to use by the public sector, namely for telecommunications, remote sensing, meteorology and navigation.

D. Use of data from remote sensing satellites

Reports rarely contain any reference to remote sensing.

The Committee stressed the importance of remote sensing technology for sustainable development and emphasized, in that connection, the importance of providing non discriminatory access to state of the art remote sensing data and to derived information at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner.

The Thailand Remote Sensing Centre (TRSC), under the auspices of the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), is the national centre for remote sensing activities.

(e) Training should be given in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology and the integration of radar and other remote sensing data in GIS systems

The Committee underlined the importance of building capacity in the adoption and use of remote sensing technology, in particular to meet the needs of developing countries.

It has business interests in remote sensing and satellite tracking services.

Remote sensing activities conducted in fiscal year 1995 are reviewed below.

D. Use of data from remote sensing satellites 59 74 10

B. Interpretation of European remote sensing satellite data for applications of

Work was conducted to further develop the federal remote sensing centre.

Each year, TRSC has granted 3 million baht to remote sensing projects proposed by Thai researchers as a means of promoting applications of the technology in Thailand.

The Earth Observation Centre receives and processes remote sensing data by means of satellites. It now receives and processes data from the Marine Observation Satellites 1 and 1b (MOS 1 1b) of Japan, the United States Land Remote Sensing Satellite (LANDSAT), the satellite système probatoire d apos observation de la terre (SPOT) (the French remote sensing satellite), the European Remote Sensing Satellite 1 (ERS 1) and the Japanese Earth Resource Satellite (JERS 1).

In 1994, TRSC established regional remote sensing centres in three regions, with the objective of promoting the utilization of satellite data and transferring remote sensing and GIS technologies to the regional level.

Another satellite data application was the Delta Remote Sensing Project in Arizona.

Both balloons for in situ measurements and remote sensing instruments were used.

In Zimbabwe, remote sensing and GIS projects started as small disjointed donor funded projects that were designed to test the applicability of the technology in different fields of application.

The peaceful use of outer space is indispensable for countries with undertakings in communication, navigation, space flight, meteorology, remote sensing, disaster reduction and other fields of science and technology.

B. Interpretation of European remote sensing satellite data for applications of national interest

There are 7 universities in Finland that study remote sensing or space science.

General function of the space object Indian remote sensing satellite for cartographic applications

Remote sensing of the Earth, meteorological and environmental monitoring and natural disaster management

Cooperative projects conducted in 1995 include the Regional Remote Sensing ERS 1 Project of the European Communities and ASEAN the GlobeSAR Project the Global Research Network System Project Joint Research on Enhancement of Remote Sensing Technology in Tropical Environment Monitoring Joint Research on the Changes of Tropical Forest and their Influence and the Asian JERS 1 Project.

15. Radar remote sensing from space has a number of advantages over airborne radar.

The outer space activities of Thailand are focused on two areas remote sensing and communications.

Presentations on remote sensing focused on the opportunities for using satellite data for environmental monitoring.

New programmes are being planned in the fields of satellite remote sensing and space science.

758 (XXVIII) The role of cartography, remote sensing and geographic information systems in sustainable development

The Subcommittee agreed that space technology applications, such as satellite communications and remote sensing, were playing an important role in supporting poverty reduction and the sustainable development of countries in the region.

He noted that some initial examples of project results emerging from NAPAs are early warning systems, seasonal forecasts, agricultural technology, geographic information systems and remote sensing analysis, and integrated modelling and planning.

29. Notes with satisfaction the convening of the International Seminar on Satellite Technology Applications in Communications and Remote Sensing in Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran, in October 2004 in cooperation with the Inter Islamic Network on Space Sciences and Technology

On 17 July 1991, ESA launched the first European Remote Sensing satellite (ERS 1), a polar orbiting satellite that constituted a major development in remote sensing applications by providing new tools for assisting in natural disasters monitoring and relief.

It developed and used remote sensing systems to support the provisions of the Clean Water Act.
