International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium 2011

On behalf of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society and the IGARSS 2011 Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to Sendai, Japan for IGARSS 2011. Sendai hosts a famous summer festival “Tanabata”, or “star festival”, every August. Only once a year Vega and Altair can meet in the sky, but only if it is not raining. On the last day of IGARSS2011, a large fireworks festival will take place near the conference venue, which will be the start of Tanabata for 2011. We will celebrate in hopes of a clear sky for Vega and Altair.
