Feasibility and predefinition study of a meteorological data distribution and LASSO mission using a SIRIO bus, Phase A. Annex 1: MDD mission
Abstract
The Meteorological Data Distribution (MDD) mission to be flown on SIRIO-2 was studied. The aim of the MDD mission is to repair the deficiencies in the African communications network and thus increase the effective contribution of that part of the globe to world wide meteorology. Topics include mission definition and analysis; link budgets versus satellite antenna and ground station performance; frequency plan, IF processor, satellite antenna and power amplifier tradeoffs; characteristics of ground stations; system synthesis; demodulating - remodulating repeater approach; MDD linear repeater approach; and test equipment.
