Stationary ERS Data Receiving Complex (DRC-5)
PURPOSE of the COMPLEX
The DRC-5 stationary receiving complex is intended for acquisition, demodulation, registration and structural recovery of data, coming from the ERS spacecraft (“Resurs-P”, “Kanopus-V”, “Meteor-M”, “Suomi NPP”, “Terra”, “Aqua”, “NOAA”, etc.) in X-/L-bands.
COMPLEX STRUCTURE
- receiving antenna complex
- hardware/software assets for managing, receiving and registering data
