CONCEPT OF USING INNOVATIVE-EDUCATIONAL UNIVERSITY CENTERS OF SPACE SERVICES AS AN INNOVATION FOR SPACE EDUCATION

摘要

Lately the world demand for geoinformative remote sensing data has increased significantly. Opencirculation of such data is supported by consolidation of experience and scientific competences atinternationally-acclaimed centers of expertise.Creation of Centers of Space Services (CSS) and space monitoring activity at national research universities isone of the aspects of development of innovative education within the scopes of national projects. CSS – is anintegrating center providing comprehensive services which would support management decisions using theresults of activities in space on the basis of remote sensing data technologies and web-services.Centers of Space Services at universities will allow to teach technologies which will allow to make decisionsin real time. Currently there is a severe shortage of such experts. Therefore, the demand for experts who receiveat CSS their initial experience of processing space data will increase every year, both from federal and regionalgovernments, and from companies.CSS at research universities will be able to solve three types of tasks at the same time:1. popularization of space activity among broad population, students, experts;2. educational tasks of training and re-training of experts, who would have modern knowledge in the fieldof remote sensing and geo-information systems;3. monitoring of the territories of the regions and providing information to support managing/governingdecisions.Creation of CSS's at research universities which are supplied at modern scientific level, will lead tosignificant improvement in the quality of education, improvement of scientific research, efficiency of applicationof such scientific research. International cooperation between universities from various countries would createunique capabilities in increasing of efficiency of such scientific-educational CSS's and would increase the qualityof aerospace education by means of exchange and application of new educational technologies.Concept of creation of Center of Space Services at the basis of Center of Remote Sensing at Moscow StateTechnical University named after N. E. Bauman is reviewed as an example, as well as role of such Center inoutreach and attracting to space technologies of students, and young experts.
