Acquisition, processing and display systems for HRPT, CHRPT, SeaWiFS, AHRPT and DMSP data from NOAA, Feng Yun, SeaStar, Metop and S-Band DMSP satellites
The Dartcom L-Band Polar Orbiter systems receive, archive, process and display HRPT, CHRPT, SeaWiFS*, AHRPT and DMSP data from NOAA, Feng Yun, SeaStar, Metop and S-Band DMSP polar-orbiting satellites.

The satellite data is transmitted in real-time and provides a spatial resolution of 1.1km in up to ten spectral bands, from visible to infra-red. Atmospheric and environmental data such as AMSU, SEM, TOVS and DCS (Argos) is also available from NOAA and Metop satellites.
A wide range of antenna options is available to suit land-based and marine applications, from a 1.8m parabolic dish and rotator to a 1.3m active-stabilised antenna enclosed in a radome.
Between passes LRIT reception from MSG direct broadcast, GOES and MTSAT is also possible with an optional rack module and software. An additional antenna can also be supplied if continuous LRIT reception is required.
All systems can be upgraded in the future to receive LRD data from NPOESS (when available).
