Improved Situational Awareness in the Arctic; user workshop and webinar, 8th May 2014, London
Project leader, Telespazio VEGA UK invite interested parties to take part in a workshop / webinar to raise awareness amongst potential users of improved space based situational awareness services to support the expanding economic activities in the Arctic. The webinar is to allow participation by those unable to attend in person.
The aim of the event is to gain a greater understanding of user needs and to discuss the potential space solutions that are applicable to the Arctic. The project will build upon the outputs of the workshop to develop solutions that better satisfy the requirements of sectors active in the Arctic region including oil and gas, shipping and tourism. A Proof of Concept (PoC) activity is planned for summer which could include the delivery of satellite earth observation-derived information to Arctic operators. Scenarios for the PoC will be defined according to the users input and needs.
