The 1st Annual William T. Pecora Memorial Symposiumscheduled for Sioux Falls, South Dakota, October28-31 , 1975, will foster the exchange of multi-disciplinary scientific and management findingsresulting from the use of remotely sensed data.
The four-day symposium will address itself to new andrevolutionary discoveries which assist the earthscientist in meeting the world's obligation to producethe minerals, fiber and food essential for the securityand continuing progress of our people. Remote sensingexperts from the United States, Canada, France, Mexicoand South America will present more than 30 technicalpapers covering the results of two years of LANDSAT(formerly ERTS-Earth Resources Technology Satellite)productivity
EARTH RESOURCES OBSERVATION SYSTEMSDATA CENTER TOURSFeatured during the Symposium will be special-ized tours of the EROS Data Center geared to theinterest of each attendee. The tours through themodern Data Center will feature user services'operations, applications assistance and trainingfacilities, high volume photographic laboratoriesand equipment, and the central computer com-plex. Highlighting the tours will be a visit to theunique Data Analysis Laboratory. Demonstrationsof interactive digital and analog image analysisequipment will be conducted to illustrate tech-niques for locating mineralized zones using satel-lite images. Applications scientists will be avail-able to answer questions on specific image analy-sis techniques and equipment capabilities.
Shuttle buses will depart the Holiday Inn (Down-town) at 3D-minute intervals on Tuesday, October28 and Friday, October 31. Specific schedules willbe listed in the program given to the attendee atreg istration.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
Tours of the EROS Data Center. Shuttle buses willdepart the Holiday Inn at short intervals throughout theafternoon. Visitors will be given specialized tours insmall groups showing applications of the equipment andservices within the Data Center.
