Rhodes event on sat systems

[Ellinas]

The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that the second international symposium for scientists heading up satellite research projects and specifically the Daichi Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS-Daichi) will be held on the island of Rhodes on November 3-7 this year.

The 2008 Joint PI Symposium of the ALOS Data Nodes follows the 2007 symposium held in Kyoto, Japan. The event was organised by the ESA in cooperation with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) of the Alaska Fairbanks University, Geoscience Australia and the Geo-informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) of Thailand.

The Symposium will offer a forum to exchange views on technical and scientific issues on the data exploitation. It will provide updates of the satellite status and will allow to present the progress in recent research of ongoing projects.

That's awesome. With the high amount of university educated (per capita) people in Hellas i'm surprised more ESA isn't done in Greece. I always thought the island of Crete would be a good location for launching rockets :-)
