Many participants all over the world attended the conference to discuss about use of various sources in geospatial and cartographic field. Informative sessions about land management and toponymy were held during the conference. SIIS team told visitors about KOMPSAT's imaging capability and its use in mapping application.

SIIS has successfully held booth at FOSS4G 2015 in Seoul, Republic of Korea. SIIS held booth from September 16th to 18th of September, and Smart Geospatial Expo was held in conjunction with FOSS4G. Many companies were interested in mapping using KOMPSAT satellite imagery. SIIS sales team attended business meetings with potential customers to discuss business opportunities.

SIIS has successfully held booth at INTERGEO 2015 in Stuttgart, Germany. INTERGEO is an annual conference for geodesy and geo-information. SIIS had only attended INTERGEO last year but also held a booth this year. It was held from 15th to 17th of September. SIIS sales team contacted a lot of companies from Europe, Africa, and Middle East who wish to be our sales partners.

SIIS has successfully held booth at APSAR 2015 in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. APSAR 2015 was held from September 1st to 4th for SAR technology development and applications. SIIS had a chance to introduce KOMPSAT-5's upgraded specification and KOMPSAT-5 data support opportunity through the conference.

We have decided to extend this proposal deadline to September 25th, 2015. SI Imaging Services announce an opportunity to conduct scientific research and comprehensive study for the use of Earth observation images acquired by KOMPSAT-5. The opportunity aims at promoting the utilization of the KOMPSAT-5 mission data and KOMPSAT-5 products are expected to be used for a wide range of disciplines. It should be note that this AO does not provide any financial support for the project, but only ensures that the selected projects and PIs are provided data sets free of charge. Please find the attached files for proposal submission. KOMPSAT-5 Application Form KOMPSAT-5 Standard Products Specifications Proposals should be submitted to sales@si-imaging.com Deadline for proposal submission is 25 September, 2015.

Satellite imagery of Dharahara Tower in Katmandu taken before and after earthquake shows the extent of the destruction in the historic heart of the Nepalese capital. Satellite imagery captured by KOMPSAT-3 on April 27.

KOMPSAT-3A Earth observation satellite, launched on March. 25 2015, has successfully been deployed in orbit and all systems have been tested and verified. KARI released images from KOMPAT-3A taken from all over the world in 55 centimeter resolution. The areas imaged include Burj Al Arab in UAE and an IR image of Han river in Korea. KOMPSAT-3A Electro-Optical imagery Burj Al Arab, UAE | KOMPSAT3A - 0.55 m resolution | Collected April 01, 2015 | KOMPSAT-3A Infrared imagery Han River, KOREA | KOMPSAT3A - 5.5 m resolution | Collected April 01, 2015 | KOMPSAT-3A was developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute to ensure data continuity in the visible wavelengths and add infrared capabilities. The Advanced Earth Imaging Sensor System installed on the satellite covers the visible wavelengths to acquire full-color imagery plus an infrared channel. The major goal of the KOMPSAT-3A program is to develop an earth observation satellite to obtain IR (Infrared) and high resolution EO (Electro-Optical) images for GIS (Geographical Information Systems) applications in environmental, agricultural and oceanographic sciences as well as natural disasters.

Source: KOMPSAT-3 pan-sharpened Imagery Acquired: 27/03/2015 Chile floods : Northern Chile hit by disastrous floods Heavy rain in northern Chile has caused floods which left 17 dead and affected thousands of people. It is reportedly the worst rain that this region has experienced in 80 years. The rain began on 24 March over the Atacama Region. This area of the country, which is also home to part of the Atacama Desert, rarely experiences a great deal of rain, and the desert is regarded as the driest place on Earth. This unusual storm activity which impacted the area recently was a result of a cold front over the Andes, which resulted in rain falling over the mountains. This rainwater flowed down the mountains into the nearby towns and rivers. Rivers, such as the Copiapo, overflowed, and swept through towns in their path. Almost five thousand people were left homeless by the flooding, and it is estimated that 11,000 were affected by the disaster. Some towns lost all power and access to clean water, and other towns have been left with a thick layer of mud through their streets. Roads have been blocked by the flooding, which has made helicopters one of the safest options for rescue efforts. Emergency workers are searching for twenty missing people, and have helped others take refuge in shelters.
