In this paper, we describe the configuration of the KITSAT-3 image data receiving, archiving, processing and distribution system in operation. Following the low-cost and software-based design concept, the whole system is composed of three PCs : two for data receiving, archiving and processing which provide a full dual-redundant configuration and one for image catalog browsing which can be accessed by public users. Except that receiving and archiving PCs have serial data ingest boards plugged in, they are configured by general peripherals. This basic and simple hardware configuration made it possible to show that a very low cost system can support a full ground operation for the utilization of high-resolution satellite image data.

This paper describes the establishment result of high speed data receiving and archiving system(HDRAS) using data receiving card(DRC) developped by SaTReC and low cost RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) storage instead of expensive enterprise RAID storage. We used three S-ATA2 type hard disks and performance test program developped by SaTReC to receive and save data at 350Mbps. Finally, we verified that the HDRAS using low cost RAID storage has a capacity to process received data at 79MB/s(632Mbps).

The Landsat Program is the longest running enterprise for acquisition of imagery of the Earth from space. The first Landsat satellite was launched in 1972 and the most recent, Landsat 7, was launched on April 15, 1999. The Landsat satellites have acquired millions of images. The Landsat 7 receiving station is installed at more than 25 sites and will be installed in Korea. This paper will address the work being carried out for the development of image receiving and processing system for the Landsat 7 image data, which will be used at ground station of Landsat 7 in Korea.

According to the image level definition for KOMPSAT-2 in KOMPSAT-2 Ground Station Specification, the level 0 is frame formatted, unprocessed data at full resolution; any and all communications artifacts (e.g., synchronization frames, communications headers) removed. The level 0 is used for two purposes: 1) exchange of imagery between image receiving & processing element (IRPE), and 2) image transfer from the Receiving & Archiving Subsystem to Search & Processing Subsystem. On-board processing of imagery data of KOMPSAT-2 includes JPEG-like compression and encryption besides conventional CCSDS packetization. The encryption is used to secure imagery data from any intervention during downlink and compression allows real-time downlink of image data reducing data rate produced from the camera. While developing ground receiving system for KOMPSAT-2, it was necessarily to define level 0 products. In this paper, we will suggest level 0 product definition for KOMPSAT-2 and explain reasons of the decisions made. The key factor used while defining the level 0 products is the efficiency of whole ground receiving system. The latter half of the paper will explain the implementation of software that generates level 0 products. The necessary steps to produce level 0 products will be explained, and the performance achieved will be presented.

This research focuses on a network based data distribution and visualization system of Multi-functional Tran-port SATellite (MTSAT). Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) and Institute of Earthquake Research Institute (ERI) both at University of Tokyo have been receiving, processing, archiving and distributing of MTSAT imagery with a direct receiving of High Rate Information Transmit (HRIT) since October 2006. A software package, mtsatgeo, is developed including radiometric correction, geometric correction and spatial subset, and they are available on a web-based data distribution and processing service accessed at http://webgms.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/.

GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) based land transportation infrastructure system is consists of receiving station and central station. The functions of the central system include receiving station's data gathering and decoding, carrier correction and integrity information generated, transmission of data in real-time. In general, The central station architecture should take into account various important points relating to hardware/software of system, data archiving and checking, availability and continuity of operation, etc. There is a fundamental need for a generic design capable of being used in any situation. Also, There is need to develop an expandable and interoperable central station architecture. In this paper, the process of design and manufacture and verification will be introduced.

The downlink data rates of the space-born payloads such as high-resolution optical cameras, synthetic aperture radars (SAR) and hyper-spectral sensors are being rapidly increased. For example, the image transmission rates of KOMPSAT-2 MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) is 320Mbps even if on-board image compression scheme is used.[1] In the near future, the data rates are expected to be a level 500${\sim}$600Mbps because the required resolution will be higher and the swath width will be increased. This paper describes many techniques they enable 500Mbps data receiving and archiving system.

This paper addresses a new project being carried out at Satellite Technology Research Center. The purpose of the project is to implement a system which receives, processes and stores 1m resolution satellite image transmitted at over 300Mbps down link data rates. In order to develop such a system, a system operational concept design and a requirements study were being carried out As a result of the operational concept design, system objectives, system context and system functions were defined. The system shall be operated according to the philosophy of maximum automation. rapid processing, reliability, integrity, cost effectiveness, and expandability. The system is divided into twelve independent processes and its behavior is modeled by operational scenario, which are combinations of independent processes. Process information and logs generated by the system shall be stored in databases and data received and generated be automatically archived and managed in a hierarchical storage device. The system shall have redundant components in order to be ready for recovering from sudden system failures. This paper will describe in detail the system operational concept design and the system requirements derived from the operational concept design.

KITSAT-3, the third satellite of KITSAT series which has been developed for the last four and half years with purely Korean design and implementation technology, was launched successfully at last. All subsystems were tested and validated during the initial operation of the satellite. During the initaial operation phase, the Earth imaging camera on board KITSAT-3 acquisited several tens of scenes all over the world and transmitted the image data to ground station. The quality of images and the reliability of data transmission-reception system were tested qualititively and quantititively, respectively. In this paper, we summarize the camera, data handling, on-board memory, and image data transmission system of KITSAT-3 as well as the image receiving and archiving system in ground station. The error rate of image data transmission and reception was tested during the initial operation phase. The average data transmission error rate satisfied the initial requirement of less than 1%. The error rate will be reduced through the continuous work of test and stabilization of the ground system hardware.

This study intends to design a curation system to support elementary and secondary schools for reusing and sharing instructional materials efficiently. It is proved through interviewing teachers at the chalkface that they utilize instructional materials, and there are some differences between elementary schools and secondary schools about the media for creating the instructional materials, and the purpose of using them. The functional requirements of curation system for reusing and sharing instructional materials are derived from questionnaires. The investigation of the existing curation systems was conducted to identify the strategies for policy, design, standard, and tools for effective operation of the digital curation system. The tasks and the functions of the curation system designed by reflecting the results of this study are as following. The tasks related to individual workspace include 'authentication', 'system configuration', 'registration' of created materials, 'material keeping' for the individual, and 'reusing (editing)'. The tasks related to sharing workspace contain 'receiving' for sharing, 'archiving' for accessing, 'peer evaluation', 'accessing' through the retrieval, and 'bulletin board'.
