High-Rate Data Link General Specification for the NOAA O,P,Q Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites and EUMETSAT Satellite Systems

摘要

The document is a reference document in the Instrument Interface Description for NOAA-2000 Instruments (GSFC-S-480-53). The requirements reflect the fact that these instruments must be compatible with a number of different polar orbiting satellite vehicles including the NOAA-OPQ satellites and the EUMETSAT METOP satellites. The instrument payload will interface to the spacecraft via several standardized communication busses. The document defines a uni-directional point-to-point single-user interface for transfer of high rate data (>100 kbs) between instruments and a spacecraft system.
