Egypt: National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSS)

Egypt's National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSS) is the pioneering Egyptian institution in the field of satellite remote sensing. The sector of remote sensing works on data provided by earth observation satellites to produce maps and spatial data for the evaluation of natural resources and natural hazards. The space science sector develops sensors for earth observation to be mounted on satellites, and it also deals with problems involving communication with satellites.
