Posted through the URSI-Commission-G Mailing List: Beacon Satellite Symposium (BSS 2007)

[Paul Cannon]

Dear Colleagues,

      The abstract deadline for the Beacon Satellite Symposium (BSS 2007)
has been extended to March 31, 2007.  The meeting will be held at Boston
College on June 11-15, 2007. This meeting will provide a unique opportunity
for ionospheric scientists from all over the world to meet and collaborate
on the ionospheric effects on radio propagation. This meeting is primarily
sponsored by the Beacon Satellite Group of the International Union of Radio
Science (URSI) Commission G. The Beacon Satellite Group is
interdisciplinary, servicing science, research, application and engineering
interests. These interests include all aspects of satellite signals observed
on the ground and by receivers on-board satellites. 
       The Beacon Satellite Studies Group was originally formed in 1972,
with the first Symposia at Graz, Austria. Symposia have continued to meet at
two to four year intervals with meetings held at various worldwide
locations. From the beginning, the two main areas of interest in Beacon
Satellite Studies have been Ionospheric Electron Content and Scintillation.
With more recent developments in ionospheric tomography, occultation
techniques, assimilation models, distributed arrays of ionospheric
measurements, IHY and IPY activities and satellite based navigation and
communication systems; these studies have gained new momentum and
perspectives. 
       We invite you to submit an abstract for the upcoming symposium.
Contributions for oral and poster presentations from all areas connected to
beacon satellite investigations will be considered. However, contributions
from the primary topics are especially encouraged. 
      Details on the abstract submittal process together with all other
organizational details are listed on the Beacon Satellite web site at:
www.bc.edu/beacon . 
       We sincerely hope to see you in Boston for the 16th International
Beacon Satellite Symposium.

Yours sincerely,

Ms. Patricia Doherty, Dr. P.V.S. Rama Rao and Dr. Reinhart Leitinger
