Satellite Data Acquisition

IMGEOS

Integrated Multi Mission Ground Segment for Earth Observation Satellites (IMGEOS) facility is established in Shadnagar campus. This facility is equipped with state of the art data acquisition systems which receive data from various satellites. Payload programming requests are consolidated at the respective subsystems based on the feasibility of tracking a particular satellite and acquisition schedules generated for each of the antennas in the ground station. Global coverages are handled through onboard recordings and playback mechanisms through ground station services at poles.

AGEOS

ISRO has established the Antarctica Ground Station for Earth Observation Satellites (AGEOS), at Bharati Station, Larsemann Hills, Antarctica, for receiving Indian Remote sensing Satellite (IRS) data. This state-of-the-art advanced Ground station was commissioned during August 2013 and is receiving data from IRS satellites (like CARTOSAT-2 Series, SCATSAT-1, RESOURCESAT-2/2A,CARTOSAT-1) and transferring the same to NRSC, Shadnagar near Hyderabad.
