the ionosphere-magnetosphere plasma" from the Institute of Physics of the
Earth (IPE), Russian Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Chmyrev published more then 90 scientific papers in refereed journals
related to propagation and interaction of waves in space plasma, studies
of active impact of electromagnetic waves and particle fluxes on the near
Earth environment, ionospheric effects of earthquakes and hurricanes, etc.
Since graduation Vitaly worked in Kaliningrad Ionosphere - Magnetosphere
Observatory. Then after completing post-graduate course in IZMIRAN, he
continued in this Institute first as a Researcher, followed as Head of
Laboratory, followed as Head of Division and finally as Deputy Director
of IZMIRAN. Since 2000 he is the head GEOSCAN International Agency on

Mr. Hemant R. Patel
Head of International Sales & Marketing
Managing Director of Geoscan (UK) Plc
Hemant Patel was born in Uganda in 1955 in an Indian family of
entrepreneurs having business interest in commodities, rice plantation and
motor spares. The Patel family immigrated to Britain in 1972 as political
refugees and settled down, where Hemant continued with his studies. In 1979
he graduated in Business Studies from the University of Westminster,
specialising in Accounting and Finance. Since 1980 he works as a Director
of Etherlock Ltd and since 1985 - as a Director of BTB Corporation Ltd.
Through the combination of different mentoring factors such as family roots
deeply entranced in entrepreneurial activities, work experience with
different organisations and visits to many different countries over a
period of time, Hemant has acquired diverse knowledge and understanding of
different cultures and business practises. This has been a potent tool for
Hemant in gaining profound experience and insight into business processes
under different environments and conditions. In 2000, Hemant met Dr Vitaly
Chmyrev in Korea at the Technomart Exhibition when the possibilities of
introducing Russian aerospace technology in the global commercial market
were first discussed. Through subsequent intensive research in different
aspects of aerospace technologies and their potential usage and
applications, Hemant and Vitaly put together the project - GEOSCAN NETWORK -
the deployment of wireless communications infrastructure through High
Altitude Platform Station, using Russian made M-55 stratospheric aircraft.
Geoscan (UK) Plc was established in London in 2001 for commercial
exploitation of GEOSCAN NETWORK with Hemant Patel as the Managing Director.
In 2002 Hemant joined GEOSCAN International Agency on Complex Monitoring
of the Earth, Natural Disasters and Technogenic Catastrophes as Head of
International Sales and Marketing.
