Antrix Corporation Ltd sponsors the International Conference "Earth From Space - the Most Effective Solutions".

Antrix Corporation Limited, the commercial and marketing arm of Indian Space Research Organisation, participates in the 3rd International Conference "Earth from Space - the Most Effective Solutions" as a sponsor.

ScanEx and Antrix are strategic partners since 2001. ScanEx Center enables the reception of data from Indian IRS-1C/1D, Resourcesat-1 (IRS-P6) and Cartosat-1 (IRS-P5) satellites to its own network of UniScanTM ground stations and distribution inside the territory of Russia and the CIS countries under a license agreement with Antrix. Seven reception centers are currently operational in Russia and two in Kazakhstan.

ScanEx's ground receiving stations are part of the international network of direct Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites data reception stations serviced by Antrix - the satellite operator of all IRS satellites. The imagery requests from all Russian clients are served using Russian ground stations. This contributes to further development of the Russian geoinformation market and promotes the ScanEx's mission on easy and cheaper access to remote sensing data to end-users, reducing the time to receive and process this data.

Dr. CVS Prakash, Director of International Marketing, Antrix says that sponsoring this conference is viewed by Antrix as a demonstration of a reliable and sound partnership with ScanEx, Russia having many years of experience in servicing the Russian and CIS markets in remote sensing and geoinformatics. Financial support to an event of this size brings out once again the strategic partnership relations between the two companies.
