Meet Bangladesh - Bangladesh 101:
The Bangladesh Space Research and
Remote Sensing Organisation operates remote sensing facilities using both French
and American satellites and applying meteorological and geographic data to such
basic problems as water management, soil fertility, forecasting, and
agricultural census work. In 1986 it became the first non-American organization
ever to receive an award for excellence from the United States National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, which provided training for Bangladeshi
scientists and grants of equipment and technical assistance. The Bangladesh
Atomic Energy Commission operates an experimental nuclear reactor and also
conducts important agricultural research on seeds, parasites, storage of
harvested crops, and irradiation.
