17th GEOCAP Annual Conference

e-GEOS sponsored the 17th GEOCAP Annual Conference, Geomatics in support of the CAP: towards a sound management of rural land areas.

The conference was held in Tallinn, from 23 to 25 November 2011, at Meriton Grand Conference & SPA Hotel.

e-GEOS showed its Optical and Radar products for Agriculture , Aquaculture and Forestry, in support of agro-environmental analysis and monitoring and precision farming applications.

The COSMO-SkyMed SAR four-satellite constellation, thanks to its very high resolution and, above all, high revisit frequency is showing new and enhanced capabilities in particular for agri-environmental targets.

spatial@gov® Conference & Exhibition

15 - 17 November 2011
National Convention Centre Canberra

spatial@gov® is the only geospatial event organised in conjunction with the peak organisations in Australia and New Zealand representing the public, private, research and professional sectors of the spatial community; including ANZLIC—the Spatial Information Council (representing all governments of Australia and New Zealand), and the German Government (through global associate Deutsche Messe AG).

e-GEOS will be present at booth 28.

At 17:00, on November 16, in the Swan / Torrens Rooms, Dr. Luca Pietranera, Head of COSMO-SkyMed Product Innovation and Technical Support will present:

The COSMO-SkyMed Very High Resolution SAR Satellite Constellation for Earth Observation and its Applications in Support of Defence, Intelligence and Emergency Response.

The COSMO-SkyMed system is a constellation of four radar satellites equipped with a Very High Resolution (VHR) X-band SAR sensor (down to 1 m.)
The four satellites are located on the same orbit plan thus providing an excellent tool for frequently monitoring a target through the application of processing techniques such as Coherent Change Detection, Coherence time series analysis and differential interferometry.
Examples of the application of these capabilities are given with particular emphasis on defence and intelligence, emergency response, maritime surveillance and land monitoring/mapping domains.

Fourth annual Conference on European Union space policy

Brussels 8-9 Nov 2011

e-GEOS CEO Marcello Maranesi will speak at the fourth plenary session, Day 1, 8 November, 14.30 - 16.00 on the topic Space for oceans, environment and climate

This Conference 2011 offers a perfect opportunity for policy-makers, business leaders, scientists and representatives of civil society:

• to stay informed regarding expected developments in European space policy,
• particularly in terms of public financing at a time when difficult negotiations are underway on the EU's future budget (2014-2020), during which the European Commission has proposed new financial instruments, such as "euro project bonds",
• to learn about the EU's intentions in terms of the governance of space projects and the allocation of responsibility among the various institutional actors,
• to take stock of the current state of the two large-scale programmes in development, Galileo and GMES, directly from those in charge of them,
• to learn about the advances that are envisaged in space exploration and exploitation,
• but also to express their expectations and increase awareness among decision-makers, businesses and potential users, so as to mobilise them as to the technological, industrial, economic and social opportunities offered by space resources.

Agenda

Second G-Mosaic Users Workshop

From 20 to 22 June 2011, e-GEOS is present at second G-MOSAIC - (GMES Services for the Management of Operations, Situation Awareness and Intelligence for Regional Crises) - Users Workshop as the company leading the project.

The event is held in Madrid (Spain) at the European Union Satellite Centre (EUSC) premises (Torrejón de Ardoz Air Base, Madrid, SPAIN). This event aims at achieving three mains goals:

• offering to the G-MOSAIC Users Community a deeper understanding of all the GMES security related services developed in the project;
• providing a hands-on experience of the tools developed by the partners;
• debating between stakeholders and users on the future of GMES services for Security.

The event is directed at representatives from institutions and organizations involved in security-related activities: European Union institutions, Member States National Administrations, Armed Forces and International and National Civil Organizations (NGOs in particular). For this reason, the event has been prepared with the objective to encourage interaction and fruitful dialogue between security stakeholders and G-MOSAIC Consortium partners as well as within the User Community itself.

e-GEOS presents Google Earth Enterprise at Forum PA

As part of Forum PA, which takes place between 9 and 12 May at the Nuova Fiera di Roma exhibition grounds, e-GEOS will be presenting Google Earth Enterprise for Public Administrations at the Google Italia stand at 10:00 on Tuesday 10 May, and the company will host a workshop at 12:00 on Wednesday 11 May on Services that can be accessed via Google Earth Enterprise.

The Google Enterprise solution being offered to public administrations allows remote-sensing images and geospatial data to be made available quickly and intuitively. Access to this information makes it possible to fully exploit the investments made by organisations and agencies in the field of GIS and to provide a more efficient tool for improving decision-making processes.

Using the ENTERPRISE version of Google Earth offers public administrations a huge number of opportunities and customisable solutions. e-GEOS, as Google's sole partner for geospatial solutions, will present these solutions at Forum PA, and explain their functionalities and innovations.

e‑GEOS contributions

From 17 March to 20 November 2011, e-GEOS is supporting Telespazio at Stazione Futuro. Qui si rifà l'Italia, an exhibition organised in Turin at the Officine Grandi Riparazioni as part of the programme to celebrate 150 years since Italian Unification.

In Turin, Telespazio, supported by e-GEOS, is presenting its video installation Love Planet Earth, created using extremely high-resolution satellite images of the planet. This is an intense virtual flight, which, beginning from space, will enable visitors to explore some of the most spectacular places on Earth, flying over oceans, rivers, mountains, deserts, forests and cities with a satellite view.

Each of the large images presented introduces a topic of environmental interest, which it is now possible to monitor, study and control thanks to space technology. The beauty of the satellite pictures of our planet is in contrast to the dramatic nature of some of the issues dealt with: desertification, the intensive use of resources, melting ice caps and the sprawl of the world's biggest cities.

The virtual flight then continues over Italy, with optical and radar satellite images of the country, from the Alps to Sicily, and with the beautiful photographs taken from the International Space Station by Italian astronaut Paolo Nespoli.

Finally, the satellite focuses on Turin, on the area of the Officine Grandi Riparazioni: an example, among others in Italy, of the perfect restoration of former industrial buildings.

Stazione Futuro, curated by the director of Wired Italia Riccardo Luna, seeks to show the Italy of the future through an exhibition divided into themed areas – in turn representing the issues of local and global change in the future – and in numerous languages. It depicts a future guided by technology, but also and above all by all the people who are already working to turn their ideas into reality
