COSPAR (Committee for Space Research) is the organization that group
together countries and scientists interested in the space activity.<br>
Since 2001 COSPAR has been organizing Capacity Building Workshops to
promote the use of data from space missions among the scientists and
students, mainly in developing countries. Nowadays there are
available several data bases of free access with data from several
space missions that have not been widely used, mainly because of
lack of knowledge on the existence of the facilities and the way to
use them.<br>
<br>
Due to the increasing number of scientists working on Planetary
Sciences in Latin American this Workshop, with the support of
COSPAR, will be devoted to the use of planetary missions databases.
The purpose is to increase the use of data obtained from the
planetary space missions and promote the collaboration among
scientists. There is a large amount of data obtained from the space
missions and some of them have free access. This Workshop intends to
provide enough information to the participants in order to enable
them to use the available tools to analyse the data.<br>
<br>
This Workshop will be divided into Introductory and Planetary
Missions data bases lectures, and the development of a research
project using the data. We have already confirmed the participation
of scientists from NASA, ESA and JAXA to give lectures about the
scientific objectives of the missions and to give an advice on how
to access and use the data. There will be some introductory lectures
about the present knowledge of the Solar System, Solar System
formation and the orbital dynamics of space missions. The
participants will work with computers with INTERNET access in order
to download and work with the data. They will define and carry out a
research project using the space data. A preliminary report of the
results of the project will be presented at the end of the Workshop.<br>
