Abstract :
The National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Field Terminal Segment (FTS) consists of three components: the signal processing subsystem, the data processor element, and the mission application subsystem (MAS). The NPOESS program scope of work for field terminals includes development of procurement specifications for High Rate Data (HRD) field terminal and Low Rate Data (LRD) field terminal configurations, development and delivery of the data processor element software, and generation of interface control documents for the field terminal interfaces.
