We have established the High Resolution Picture Transmission system (HRPT)
at India Meteorological
Department at New
Delhi from Sea Space
Corporation, USA
for receiving NOAA
transmission used by the scientists in their weather forecasting inputs.
The HRPT installation was completed successfully by joint Seaspace and Consimpex (factory trained engineers) in
1999 and the System is up and operational since then on 24 hour basis.
The HRPT system
is an automatic receiving station for NOAA polar orbiting satellites.
The system with Terascan software has been developed
by SeaSpace Corporation,USA and the
project has been implemented in India
by B.K. Consimpex. The day to day software & hardware service, up
gradation, trouble shooting during the warranty and post warranty tenure is
been handled by BK Consimpex Engineers who have undergone training at SeaSpace
facility in U.S.A
Recently, the Forest Survey of India (FSI), Dehradun
have placed order for the HRPT System from Seaspace
corporation for automatic detection of Forest Fire through NOAA satellite passes. This
Project would again be implemented by Consimpex engineers/programmers
trained at SeaSpace USA.
