IX. Presenting KidSat Results

9.1 Presenting Results of the First Mission at IGARSS '96

The 1996 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, IGARSS '96, was held in Lincoln, Nebraska. Its theme, Remote Sensing for a Sustainable Future, emphasized the role of remote sensing to help conserve resources for coming generations. Plenary and special sessions focused on advances made in both theoretical and experimental aspects of terrestrial and atmospheric remote sensing. A special session on KidSat was included and students and teachers involved in the first KidSat mission made presentations. The agenda for that session follows:
