Antenna pointing workshop during Symposium 2005

This year's programme will concentrate on practical workshops and small group tutorials although we will, as usual, be inviting expert speakers as in previous Symposia and we hope to have a representatives from EUMETSAT present.

The day will include talks, presentations and demonstrations, not only of live Meteosat-8 reception but of both NOAA and MetOp high-resolution imagery via EUMETCast.
