1 ~ JAXA Capacity Building Program~ Sentinel Asia System Operation Training 15-17 July 2009 Makoto Kawai Satellite Applications and Promotion Center (SAPC) Space Applications Mission Directorate
2 Objective Sentinel Asia System Operation Training was initiated from 2007, and JAXA held this training in cooperation with JPT members 4 times so far. 68 trainees from 18 countries participated in this training in total. Sentinel Asia System Operation Training aims to : > Spread the procedure of Sentinel Asia Emergency Observation. > Enrich the utilization of info. provided by Sentinel Asia. > Build a human network.
3 Participating Countries 18 countries (35 organizations) from all over the Asia.
4 Characteristic The characteristic of Sentinel Asia System Operation Training is that lectures are made by using information and software that is easily accessible. Therefore what is learned can be utilized by trainees immediately upon return. > Use information which can be got from Sentinela Asia in lectures. > Use Sentinel Asia system and free software in lectures.
