Abstract

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Alaska Geophysical Institute have initiated a program to receive, record, process, and archive synthetic-aperture radar and optical images at the Fairbanks campus. Data will be acquired from the European Space Agency E-ERS-1 and the National Space Development Agency of Japan J-ERS-1 spacecraft. The author focuses on the system which catalogs and archives signal data and derived data products, and provides an interactive product order function for users. A mission planning subsystem provides the capability to predict satellite swath coverage of the spacecraft, manages data acquisition requests, and produces an operations schedule for the receiving ground station and the SAR processing system
