- Sponsored courses : NASDA ( National Space Development of Japan) sponsored GAC, AIT to conduct three two week training courses for 15 trainees each with full support of travel, accommodations and per diem. Another 5 trainees will be accepted to join the courses with self support fund of 2,000 US dollars. They were ; Advanced Remote Sensing & GIS for Watershed Management (15-30 June, 1998), Microwave Remote Sensing and Interpretation (21 Sep. ~ 2 Oct. 1998) and Advanced Remote Sensing & GIS for Flood Mitigation (16-27 November, 1998). Another two training courses called Caravan Type Training will be conducted with full support of AIT/NASDA outside of AIT. A caravan team of several resource persons will visit a local city to conduct workshop or tutorials on a specific theme in order to maximize the efficiency of number of trainees in the host country. In 1998, the following two caravan type training courses were implemented. - Workshop on Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS Utilization 19- 23, August, 1998, Bandung, Indonesia - AIT-Hannover University Joint Workshop on Mapping from Space 26-30 October 1998, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. In 1999, similar training courses are planned. 4. Research Program The Asian Center for Research on Remote Sensing (ACRoRS) aims at the following tasks • to provide technical support to researchers in Asia. • to provide NOAA AVHRR data and Japanese Satellite data at inexpensive price for research purpose. • to promote joint research with AARS members, and • . to provide consulting service on request The ACRoRS started to receive NOAA AVHRR since 15 October 1997 which covers India, indo-China Peninsula, Tibet, Himala, Indonesia, Philippines and so on. The cost of NOAA AVHRR in 8 mm tape is 30 US dollars per path, 200 US dollars per 8 mm tape (about 47 paths) and 10,000 US dollars per year. Visiting researchers are most welcome to join the type of research with full technical support by ACRoRS experts. The tuition fee for visiting researcher costs 1,000 Us dollars per person per term. Accommodation and food will be about 1,000 US dollars per month if stayed in AIT campus. The ACRoRS implemented several projects in 1998 including Preliminary study on applicability of satellite data to Asian Highway of whole Thailand with Japanese Satellite data. Estimation of water volume of Ton Le Sap Lake, Cambodia Application of remote sensing and GIS to road planning and maintenance in Nepal, etc. . CONCLUSIONS (1) STAR Program, AIT has successfully developed the curricula with a clearly targeted goal to meet the requirements and demands in computer, space and multi-media age. (2) STAR Program has established a well balanced scheme between educational, training and research program. (3) STAR Program has a resolution toward technology and research oriented program, with powerful equipments and highly capable researchers.
