Abstract :
Every satellite data system starts with some form of Level 1 and geolocation processing. This paper provides information to help future missions better estimate the personnel, schedule, and computing requirements for their data processing and algorithm development. The level of development effort and the computational resources for Level 1A and geolocation processing for the MODIS instrument are described. This information is related to the requirements for the Level 1A and geolocation tasks. Estimates of how both development and processing resource requirements scale to these functional requirements are provided
