Training at NASA
ARSET (Applied Remote Sensing Training Programme)
The Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) started in 2009 as an offshoot of the Health and Air Quality division of Applied Sciences. Initially, all the trainings were in-person with other agencies or at conferences. In 2013, ARSET moved online, which greatly increased the reach of the program. As of 2021, the program has reached over 65,000 participants from 176 countries and more than 11,000 organizations worldwide.
