For the first time the Russian private company ScanEx RDC, the leader on the Russian market of remote sensing data reception and processing, will take part in this conference.

ScanEx specialists will speak about the implemented and pending projects on the creation of RS Centers at universities based on the universal small-size «UniScan» ground receiving station and the unique software for space data processing and display.

The new joint proposal of the Russian ScanEx RDC and Israeli ImageSat Int. for higher education institutions will be voiced at the conference: supply of UniScan ground station with one-year license to free reception of 100 scenes from EROS A satellite (spatial resolution of 1,9 m).
