The amount of remote
sensing data from the Earth's observing satellites is impressive and has
increased dramatically during the last few years. Satellites continuously
stream data to support fields such as early warning applications, urban
planning, land use, security and defense, and emergency management.
Sponsored by the
National Space Program, the Centre of Excellence for Satellite Applications -

The aim of this course
is to familiarize the participants on where and how to use these satellite data
