This system receives, processes and distributes high resolution image data obtained byEarth observation satellites. This system was developed in order to provide not only highly accurate image products but also systematic and automatic operation. This system currently supports the data reception, processing and user-supports for the following satellites.

KOMPSAT-1 (sun-synchronous polar orbit)
KOMPSAT-2 (sun-synchronous polar orbit)
RazakSat (near-equatorial low Earth orbit)

This system is based on a multi-satellite data handling capability and an easily expendable architecture, so that only a data format interpretation module is required for receiving and processing data from an additional satellite.
