[A system] that will manage the [RADARSAT-2] and the ground facilities by scheduling SAR [synthetic aperture radar] ontimes, mode and look angle selections, solid state recorder usage, receiving stations, processing priorities and calibration activities to meet user requests.

OBS

Requests for SAR data will come to the Order Desks from users around the world. These data requests will be transmitted to the Mission Control System (MCS) for filling either from archived data or newly acquired data from the Spacecraft.

OBS

On command from the MCS, the spacecraft will transmit the acquired data directly to a receiving facility in Canada, abroad, or to a transportable ground station.

[Système qui] sera responsable de l'opération du satellite [RADARSAT-2] et des stations au sol en programmant le mode d'acquisition et la direction de l'antenne [SAR (radar à synthèse d'ouverture]), l'utilisation de l'enregistreur de bord, les stations de réception, les priorités de traitement et les activités de calibrage afin de rencontrer les demandes des utilisateurs.

OBS

Les requêtes des utilisateurs du monde entier parviendront au Bureau de commandes. Les requêtes seront acheminées au [Système de contrôle de mission (SCM)] afin d'obtenir des images soit à partir de données archivées ou pour de nouvelles acquisitions.

OBS

Sur commande provenant du [SCM], le satellite transmettra les données acquises à une station réceptrice au Canada ou ailleurs dans le monde ou à une station mobile.

OBS

SCM : acronyme spécifique à RADARSAT accepté par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie spatiale.

Record 6 2003-08-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The Rocket Assembly/Checkout Facility... The facility consists of six contiguous laboratory modules subdivided into a storage area, a gray room area, and a clean room. The storage area houses spare instrument components and intermittently used ground support equipment. The gray room area contains facilities to clean components before they enter the clean room and equipment used to ship the instrument to WSMR [White Sands Mission Range]. The Class 100 cross-flow clean room is separated from the gray room by an air shower. The clean room contains three major stations : a clean bench for assembly of subsystems; a 12x14-ft optical bench for instrument assembly and electronic test of the instrument subsystems; and a vacuum chamber for vacuum focus and spectroradiometric calibration. The cryogenically pumped vacuum chamber is designed with a 30-cm diameter ultraviolet collimator at one end and a roll-off section that accommodates the entire flight instrument centered in the collimated beam at the other end.
