Following the success of its inaugural symposium last May, GEO has once more booked the National Space Centre, Leicester for its 2005 Symposium.


Activities during Symposium 2004

PROGRAMME

The day will of course include talks, presentations and demonstrations of live weather satellite reception. If the new NOAA-18 is in operation we may be able to demonstrate live reception using GEO's new PIC chip for the RX2 and we will certainly be demonstrating live Meteosat-8 reception. There will also be workshops for beginners and experienced users. More details
