Dec. 24th , 2017 5th Egyptian Japanese Joint Symposium on “The New Valley Research
Projects “
National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Science(NARSS) is the pioneering
Egyptian institution in the field of satellite remote sensing. NARSS includes two major
sectors: Remote Sensing and Space Sciences. The sector of remote sensing works on
the use of data provided by earth observation satellites and various airborne sensors to
produce maps and spatial data for the evaluation and monitoring of natural resources,
natural hazards and management environmental. The sector of space sciences is
concerned with the development of sensors for earth observation to be mounted on
satellites and with all the problems involved with monitoring communication with
satellites and retrieving the information for processing, and ultimately on launching an
Egyptian remote sensing satellite. The presentations are field studies of developing
project at New Valley Governorate. Prof. Iwasaki, Sophia University and Prof.
Matsuoka, Chiba University gave presentations at Dakhra Oasis and the moderator
was Dr. Fukami, JSPS Cairo Research Station.
