The Processing and Distribution Subsystem(PDS) is one of eight subsystems which together form the RADARSAT-2 ground segment. Its role is to process the raw SAR data received from the satellite into the RADARSAT-2 products, and deliver these products to downstream consumers of the data.... The PDS is based on MDA's existing Product Generation System(PGS) which currently produces SAR imagery for multiple satellite missions(RADARSAT-1, ERS-1, ERS-2, JERS-1) and also processes optical satellite imagery from many sensors. 3, record 1, English, - processing%20and%20distribution%20subsystem
