Abstract

The KOMPSAT-II has a MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) payload for earth observatory. The image data acquired during the pass over the Korean Peninsula can be sent to the ground station directly. But the image data out of the contact range should be stored temporally for later transmission. The KOMPSAT-II has a device for this purpose called the DCSU(Data Compression and Storage Unit) and the DCSU also performs compression functions for saving storage space and transmission time to send image data to the ground station. In this paper, we'd like to introduce the DCSU memory structures and operation.
