FUSION user workshop Announcement

Dear Sir/Madam,

We would like to bring to your attention the upcoming user workshop for FUSION.

The FUSION user workshop is scheduled on May 19, 2010 in Berlin, Germany. FUSION will be the first satellite constellation combining high resolution satellite imagery as known from the RapidEye satellites with MIR/TIR data similar to what the BIRD infrared payload produces. Combining 6.5 m GSD VIS/NIR images with 100 m GSD infrared images, FUSION will provide new data products and worldwide daily revisit capability for fields such as precision agriculture, food security, irrigation water management, inland water resource management, terrestrial ecosystem mapping, volcanology, and high resolution wildfire monitoring.

As FUSION has the potential to serve a wide variety of applications, we aim to optimise the set of requirements that the system design will be based on. The workshop offers a unique opportunity for users to learn about FUSION, express their information needs and discuss their requirements and thus influence this mission right from the start.

Workshop tracks include:

- Introduction to the FUSION project
- FUSION's high resolution earth observation capabilities
- FUSION's unique fire detection and monitoring features
- Participants' presentations
- Special addresses and panel discussions

In order to target individuals in your organisation most interested in attending this workshop, please let us know how we can contact them. Please feel free to forward this announcement to other people interested in satellite Earth Observation.

For more information about the FUSION User Workshop, please refer to the announcement regarding the project or contact us (please see contact details below).

Sincerely,

Lilit Kocharyan
