`
`Space agency to offer
`free launch for private
`satellites
`Privately developed small
`satellites in Japan will be
`launched by the H-2A rocket
`free of charge through its
`space agency from fiscal
`2008.
`Japan Aerospace
`Exploration Agency (JAXA)
`will launch one or more pri-
`vate satellites, weighing one
`to 50 kilograms, along with
`its own larger satellites at
`least once a year. The pro-
`gramme is designed to pro-
`mote research activities that
`will lead to the expansion of
`the use of space and promote
`satellite development for the
`purpose of educating people
`studying in the field. The
`first private satellites will be
`launched with JAXA's gases
`observing satellite (GOSAT)
`in fiscal 2008. JAXA starts
`receiving applications for the
`first free launches from11
`May to. 31 Aug2006. The
`expense to launch a one-kilo-
`gram private satellite can
`run from 3 million yen
`(27,000 U.S. dollars) to 4 mil-
`lion yen ($ 36,000). The free
`launch offer is expected to
`encourage students in the
`
`aerospace field.

`
`Daewoo introduces
`3DVU's Visual Map
`Navigation Technology
`Daewoo Precision Industries
`has developed a car naviga-
`tion system in Korea, show-
`ing its next generation of 3D
`image maps with terrain ele-
`vation based on 3DVU tech-
`nology at Busan Internation-
`al Motor Show held in May
`2006. This was the first pub-
`lic showing of 3DVU-patent-
`ed technology running on
`Daewoo's car navigation sys-
`tem. Daewoo's car naviga-
`tion system is based on the
`
`Freescale MPC5200 CPU with
`QNX's operating
`system
`showing aerial imagery and
`terrain elevation in a 3D per-
`spective. 3DVU, a global
`provider of 3D digital visuali-
`zation of imagery, map data
`and other geographic con-
`tent, overcome major techni-
`cal barriers to enhance the
`mobile navigation experi-
`ence. 3DVU patented tech-
`nology provides smooth con-
`tinuous movements with a
`3D perspective over images
`that include terrain eleva-
`tion in such limited comput-
`
`ing devices.3DVU has devel-
`oped a unique and patented
`technology
`that streams
`imagery and elevation and
`presents it in a 3D perspec-
`tive on any digital device,
`anywhere in the world. The
`company
`is strategically
`partnered with carmakers;
`navigation systems, mobile
`devices and handset devel-
`opers; major satellite and
`aerial imagery-sensing enti-
`ties; and mapping and GIS
`data providers.

`e MapKit
`Developed
`The Humanitarian Informa-
`tion Centre (HIC) and United
`Nations Joint Logistics Cen-
`tre (UNJLC) have developed
`the QuakeZone MapKit,
`which is a CD that allows the
`creation of maps with newly
`collected data and building
`on existing spatial data. This
`toolkit is a compilation of
`HIC and UNJLC spatial data
`sets and includes basic GIS
`software. A training pro-
`gramme on the QuakeZone
`Mapkit will be conducted in
`Mansehra, Muzaffarabad,
`Bagh and Islamabad. Partici-
`pants will learn how to gath-
`er data on location attributes
`using a GPS device and set-
`tlement list and how to
`transfer these data into GIS
`to produce a map using their
`collected data and existing
`data layers. UNJLC continues
`
`to collect data on road condi-
`tions. Currently,
`special
`attention is being given to
`obtaining data on tertiary
`roads, as the status of these
`roads is less known than the
`status of primary and sec-
`ondary roads. Many UNJLC
`maps have been updated
`over the past month.

`
`NESPAK wins mega
`project in Iran
`National Engineering Ser-
`vices Pakistan Private Limit-
`ed
`(NESPAK) achieved a
`major breakthrough in its
`overseas business develop-
`ment by winning a highly
`competitive mega project in
`Iran. It is a World Bank fund-
`ed project which will cost
`$120 million, and the Iran
`Government short-listed six
`leading international firms
`of
`consulting
`engineers
`including NESPAK to bid for
`the project, said a company
`spokesman on Wednesday.
`The project relates to devel-
`opment of databases and
`computer models for inte-
`grated land, water and envi-
`ronment management
`in
`northern Iran along the east-
`ern Caspian Coast. It involves
`the use of latest satellite
`technologies and GIS for
`computerizing earth surface
`data consisting of thematic
`map layers such as land,
`soils, elevation, geology,
`slopes, roads and floodplain
`layers and their integration
`with hydrologic, groundwa-
`ter, watershed and river flow
`models.
