20.01.2019: Visited #CEDARE, Cairo, EGYPT. Thank you CEDARE for enriching my library with The Solar Atlas of Egypt. The Atlas is a key catalyst to support the development of progressive policies, new profitable investments, markets, "green" jobs and technological innovation.

The future of the Copernicus Space Component should ensure continuity of the existing satellite constellations but also develop new missions to fill data gaps in areas such as CO2 monitoring or #Arctic monitoring Josef Aschbacher, director of ESA Earth Observation at #BBESpaceConf

Cairo can't be Cairo without touching base with my very good friend and professional colleague Prof Islam El-Magd. It was great catching up this morning.
