X-Band Receiving StationReception of data from the fleet of IRS satellites is performed in close cooperation between DLR and Euromap, with the three 7.3 m X-band antennas in Neustrelitz playing the major role. The geographical coordinates 13 degrees, 04', 28" East and 53 degrees, 19', 48" North at an elevation of about 78 m allow coverage of the whole of Europe, from northern Norway to North Africa, and from Iceland to the western parts of the Caspian Sea. ![]() Two of the X-band antennas in Neustrelitz
IRS Processing ChainsProcessing of IRS data is performed with Euromap's dedicated
chains for quick looks, standard data products and 5 m colour Merge products,
which are implemented on UNIX like operating systems running on cutting edge
SGI and industrial PC hardware. |
