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.
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.
Imaging Planning
Software - Interactive drag & drop image
- segment allocation
on a digital map
- Embedded orbit propagators
- Physical orbit, attitude and sensor
- modeling (calculation
of imaging
- start/end time
and rotation angle
- from the target
position)
- Automatic image segment
- allocation
according to given
- imaging orders
Reception Planning
Software - Multiple schedule ingestion and
- automatic scheduling
- Automatic invocation of data
- receiving and recording software
