Abstract
Currently available sensors for science as MODIS on Terra or Aqua will terminate their service in the near future and the next satellite on NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) will be the next satellite to support the global remote sensing research. The Tokyo University of Information Sciences (TUIS) has updated the MODIS receiving system to capture and ingest the Visible/Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data from the satellite of NPP, which will be launched in 2008. Data processing software from the Direct Readout Laboratory (DRL), such as the Real-time Software Telemetry Processing (RT-STPS), Simulcast, and DB algorithms, will be core programs in our system. The configuration of the hardware and software for higher level MODIS data processing are introduced in this paper. A data ingest, process and publish system is constructed for MODIS based on the software mentioned above; it can process and publish the data in near real time and proved to work well by our test. By this configuration, the VIIRS data in the NPP stage can also be ingested and processed; also, it will have the ability to publish the VIIRS data in near real time.
