Berbagai pihak mengulurkan tangan untuk membantu korban tsunami. Tidak ketinggalan ISRO (NASA-nya India), tentu dengan caranya sendiri.
Salam, RM ------------------------------ ISRO sends communication equipment to islands Wednesday December 29 2004 00:00 IST IANS BANGALORE: India's space agency on Tuesday airlifted crucial communication equipment to the Andaman and Nicobar islands, which were battered by Sunday's tsunami. A top Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) official said that satellite based-communication terminals would help revive tele-medicine facility in the Indian archipelago in the Bay of Bengal. "We are dispatching VSATs (very small aperture terminals) along with diesel generators to Car Nicobar island via Port Blair," the official told the media. "In addition, INSAT-based multiple satellite service terminals and Inmarsat-based satellite phones are being sent to Port Blair for deployment in far-flung areas of the islands devastated by the tsunami," he said. The satellite terminals and phones will help agencies to coordinate rescue and relief operations in areas that have been cut off from Port Blair and the mainland. Of the eight VSATs ISRO had set up in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, four were damaged by the tsunamis, a train of giant waves caused by undersea disturbances. "Even the tele-medicine facility set up at Port Blair and Car Nicobar for real-time tele-consultation with specialist doctors was damaged in the deluge," the official said. A fresh set of equipment is being deployed at the facility to enable local doctors to communicate with specialty hospitals like Apollo at Chennai and Amritha Institute of Medical Sciences at Kochi, which are in the ISRO tele-medicine network. ISRO scientists are analysing images of tsunami-hit areas beamed by the Indian Remote Sensing satellite "Resourcesat-1" that passed over Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry on Monday. "The pictorial data acquired from its spectral cameras is being analysed to assess the damage caused by the storm," he said. "The National Remote Space Agency (NRSA) of Hyderabad is conducting an aerial survey of the southern coastal areas to assess devastation caused by the tsunami." 30 Dec 2004 ------------------------ Yahoo!
