On construction of global satellite multiprogram global information system using “storm” warning signals

The setting-up of multipurpose circular communication by adding extra digital signals to TV program signals is the real way to increase efficiency of the existing TV transmission network. These additional signals can be graphic and facsimile information and can be received in every point within TV broadcasting coverage areas in this country and abroad by ordinary TV sets or simplified receivers. Data transmission through such TV channels make it possible not only to save expensive and deficient telephone channels, but also to speed up data provision for remote and inaccessible regions. Tests of this new and original system (teleinform), developed by the Radio Research Institute of the RF Ministry of Communications, proved its advantages while transmitting information to places where Russian TV programs are available. An interesting project entitled SAPS (Solar Activity Patrol System), developed by the Space Research Institute of The RF Academy of Sciences, can play an exceptionally important role in the implementation of the Solar Ecological Security Programme. The solar storm warning signals, generated by SAPS and included in the above described information system, besides its main humanitarian and economic function substantially improve commercial characteristics of the system. The distribution system of this information throughout the world may be organized in the most cost-effective way by using the existing terrestrial and satellite channels
