Thailand Remote Sensing Center in the Globalization ERA
Another aid that TRSC offers to the users is the Remote Catalog Search system. Login can be made via modem. Available phone numbers are 66-2-5791198 and 66-2-5793-03. The world "USER" is used as user name and password.
One of the important activities of TRSC is to transfer technology in various ways such as training courses, seminars, conferences, workshops at national and international levels. TRSC also provides annual funding to the researchers in order to encourage then to develop techniques of data untilization.
Publication is distributed to general public routinely in the form of newsletter in both Thai and English versions, brochures, poster etc.
The application Group of TRSC has proved to be carrying out several outstanding work in Asia. Data analysis including GIS conducted by TRSC staff usually meets the needs of the users and the decision makers. Each year, adequate budget is allocated for sophisticated facilities to be used in the Application Group in order to develop the remote sensing technologies for creating value-added data as well as to carry out the important projects in accordance with the government instructions.
With almost two decades of experience in space application especially remote sensing, TRSC recently received cabinet approval to carry out Thai Remote Sensing Small Satellite Program (Thai Smallsat). This satellite is expected to be launched into polar orbit by the year 2000. The sensor would carry out four band imaging device with a resolution of 20 meter. Thailand intends to provide direct down link to other receiving stations in the world to maximize the benefit of space technology.
Future plan
In the near future, TRSC plans to extend our capability in obtaining data from satellites of the new era namely, Radarsat of Canada, IRS-IC of India, ADEOS of Japan. The task TRSC is committed are not only to serve the users in the country, but also to provides services to the researchers wouldwide. In addition, TRSC is setting up the system internet and the orders may be placed through such media resulting in shorter turn-around time. The Thai Smallsat Program would enhance human resources development and international cooperation.
