Hellenic Mapping and Cadastral Organisation

Nevertheless, in the United States, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) spends only 4 million of its annual budget of more than 10 billion on mapping dangerously close large asteroids. At the current rate, NASA may not complete the task for another decade, even though such mapping is the key to an asteroid defense because it may give us years of warning.

That capability was shown in the development of an ecoregion map of North America, in cooperation with USGS, EPA and Environment Canada under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

The Internet is transforming the way maps are made, enabling ordinary people dubbed citizen cartographers to work alongside intrepid adventurers and professional geographers. These cartographers whose only common characteristic is Internet access are embracing the opportunity to depict the places that they know and love, whether to help their neighbors get around or to give faraway people a glimpse of their local environments.

The movement of people across national borders is regulated and monitored by the Immigration and National Registration Department.

CSA, in collaboration with the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Centre national d apos études spatiales (CNES) (the French National Centre for Space Studies), has recently made important discoveries with the Wind Imaging Interferometer (WINDII).
