WSS-420 HRPT/CHRPT Weather Satellite System

The WiNRADiO WSS-420 Weather Satellite System is a complete and fully integrated hardware/software system for capturing and processing data streams from polar orbiting satellites in real time.

The system supports HRPT data streams with 5 multi-spectral channels from NOAA satellites and CHRPT data with 10 channels from the Feng Yun-1D satellite. Data is available immediately after a satellite pass and it can be exported to NOAA Level 1B (HRPT) file format.

The system hardware consists of high-quality components: The dual-axis rotator is a robust unit designed with steel gears for heavy-duty work and extended life, while offering considerable turning and breaking torque. The rotator is driven by a digital control unit, which interfaces with the application software via the computer USB port. The control unit can position the rotator to the desired target position with an accuracy of ±0.5°.

Features of WSS-420:

Fully-integrated hardware/software solution
Compact stand-alone system
Robust rotator and tripod
Easy installation, calibration and configuration
Automatic satellite dish positioning
Automatic real time orbital satellite tracking
Automatic reception scheduling
Full support for multi-spectral AVHRR data
Full support for NOAA (HRPT) and Feng Yun-1D (CHRPT)
Advanced image processing software
Automatic updating of satellite prediction data from internet
Automatic application clock synchronization from internet
AVHRR data export in NOAA Level 1B (HRPT) file format

The WSS-G420 System Application Software can be operated either manually or in automatic control mode. When set to automatic mode, the system can operate entirely unattended, taking care of tracking and reception scheduling of specified satellites and saving all received image data.

Resulting images can be printed or saved in common image formats. In addition to basic image manipulation, the software provides advanced image processing functions such as RGB false-colour editing of spectral channels, noise reduction and contrast enhancement. Data output can be exported in NOAA Level 1B (HRPT) format.

The optional WR-WSDA-420 Weather Satellite Data Analyser software provides additional sophisticated features and tools, including NOAA Standard Products, Sea Surface Temperature, Land Surface Temperature, map overlays, many types of projections, advanced colour palettes and more.
