| ACI-NA 14th Annual Conference and Exhibition |
This year the ACI-NA's (Airports Council International - North America) Annual Conference & Exhibition meet to discuss airport industry solutions. Since rapid growth in the aviation market has once again brought to the forefront such critical issues as safety, congestion, capacity and customer service, QinetiQ will be exhibiting the new surveillance and detection system, Tarsier.
QinetiQ will be exhibiting Tarsier at Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada from 18th – 21st September.
Tarsier is an Airport Debris Detection System, and the first sensor ever designed specifically for the automatic detection of runway debris. Tarsier has recently been sold to Vancouver International Airport for deployment on both their north and south parallel 3km runways.

TopSat is a revolutionary concept in satellite imaging technology. TopSat provides high resolution images of a specific location and can deliver them directly to the user in real time. It does this much more cost effectively than traditional Earth Observation satellites.
The TopSat launch is currently scheduled for 27th September 2005 with a contingency day on the 28th. TopSat will be launched into a polar low Earth orbit on a COSMOS launch vehicle provided by Polyot and launched from Plesetsk in Northern Russia. Topsat will be launched with 4 other satellite payloads as part of a shared launch.
Funded jointly by the British National Space Centre and the Ministry of Defence, the TopSat project is managed by a consortium of four top UK space organisations: QinetiQ (lead), Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) and Infoterra.
