DEVELOPMENT OF SOUMI NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING PARTNERSHIP (SOUMI NPP) LEVEL TWO (2) DATA PRODUCTION SYSTEM USING OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE

摘要

The Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency (MRSA) Ground Station is capable to receive the Soumi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (Soumi NPP) data using the existing MODIS receiving system that currently used to receive data from Terra and Aqua Satellites. However, the MODIS system not capable to produce level two (2) Soumi NPP data that is required by two important research and development projects in MRSA, which are the fish Site Identification (ESI), and Forest Fire Information System (FORFIS) project. A study using different open source software to produce level 2 Soumi NPP data has been done to overcome this problem. The Suomi NPP data production system developed by running the script automatically that integrate the acquisition of Suomi NPP using the existing MRSA Ground Station 3.6 meter antenna and all necessary software that need to process the level 2 data which are Real Time Software Telemetry Processing System (RT-STPS). Science Processing Algorithm (SPA). SeaWIFS Data Analysis System (SEADAS) and Community Satellite Processing Package Sensor Data Record (CSPP SDR). By using this alternative open source software, level 2 Soumi NPP data has been successfully produce and can be used by the FSI and FORFIS project's team.
