SG1 SG2 SG3 SG4 EUM-1 EUM-2 TG1 TG2 Tromsø Network Operations Center (Scheduling, backup, conflict resolution) Operational Ongoing Installation EUMETSAT

  15. KSAT Pole to Pole concept • Norwegian Polar Institute research station upgrade • New satellite station is being planned on NPI site in Antarctica • Implementation of infrastructure and communication 2004/05 • S/X band up- and down link antenna 2005/06 • Can be used for TT&C and payload data acquisition/processing • Up to 8Mbs satellitecommunication

  16. Global possibilities • Global services for: • Oil Spill detection • Ship detection • Data distribution • Can dump over Tromsø /Svalbard on every orbit • Data from Svalbard sent to Tromsø for processing, analysis, distribution • Data delivery within 3 hours (2)
