LETTER OF WELCOME
Dear ISRSE-37 Delegates,
I’d like to warmly welcome each of you to the 37th International Symposium
of Remote Sensing of Environment. It’s an exciting time for the South African
National Space Agency (SANSA) as we grow, whilst remaining inspired to
develop products and services to benefit our citizenry through the local and
global partnerships we nurture.
Our organisation, though young in age, has strong historic roots and a visionary
focus for a brighter future for our country and the African continent. The world
of space science and technology is an exciting area in which to engage
and innovate, and we aspire to continue to bring skilled and knowledgeable
people together in forums like this, to ensure that our user communities benefit
from such interventions.
Over the next few days we hope you will take advantage of sharing and
receiving knowledge and opportunities for research and innovation from the
global Earth observation community. Our stakeholders and partners have
indicated an interest in the thematic areas of remote sensing that impact on
our lives, from food security concerns to sustainable industrial advancements.
We are happy to bring experts in these areas from around the world to update
you on developments in these thematic areas.
I would like to thank each of you for attending and bringing your expertise to
the Symposium. We are also grateful to you, as organisational representatives,
for sharing your knowledge and experience that help us contribute, through
strategic partnerships, to making our world a better place. During this Symposium,
I encourage you to contribute, network and assist us in shaping the future of
Earth Observation and space science.
My gratitude goes to the organising committee, our partners, contributors and
exhibitors in ensuring an impactful Symposium for all delegates.
I wish you a warm African stay in our friendly city of Tshwane.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Valanathan Munsami
CEO, South African National Space Agency (SANSA)

TECHNICAL TOUR
SANSA SPACE OPERATIONS AT THE
HARTEBEESTHOEK GROUND STATION
Friday, 12 August
14:00 – 16:00
Transport departs CSIR International Convention Centre at 13:00
Requires pre-registration. The South African National Space Agency
(SANSA) hosts one of the most diverse satellite ground stations in the
southern hemisphere and is the only station in the world with the ability to
support space missions in all the commercial frequency bands. Nestled in
the Magaliesburg mountain range in a radio-quiet environment, the site
is the most accurately calibrated site in Africa for the Argos beacon. The
Hartebeesthoek-based station has been at the forefront of the space
journey right from the beginning and has supported such missions as
MOM, Curiosity Rover, OCO, and most notably, the mission control for
the South African Sumbandila satellite. It continues to support pioneering
missions from major space players around the world.
A visit to the satellite ground station encompasses a tour of the facility,
starting at the Ariane auditorium, heading to the mini-museum with
memorabilia from our rich space heritage, leading to the mission control
centre, and ending with a walk-about on the antenna site.
The tour of the SANSA Space Operations (SO) is scheduled for Friday, 12
August from 14:00 – 16:00.
Departure from the CSIR International Convention Centre will be at 13:00.
Departure time from SANSA Space Operations, returning to the CSIR
International Convention Centre, will be at 16:00.
