Airborne Science Data Relay Using ORBCOMM

小行星9361427 所有类型的大气科学平台都需要与本国实验室进行可靠和具有成本效益的通信的手段。 当前的卫星技术受到低数据速率、过度延迟、高成本或其它复杂性的影响。 新一代低空商业数据中继卫星为改进超视距遥测和遥控提供了诱人的机会。 极光飞行科学公司提议利用轨道科学公司的ORBCOMM卫星系统开发和演示大气科学数据链。 虽然Aurora的工作将针对飞机和气球的数据中继要求，但它将适用于包括浮标和地面站在内的广泛的科学研究。 ***

9361427 Langford Atmospheric science platforms of all types require a reliable and cost-effective means of communicating with home laboratories. Current satellite techniques suffer from low data rates, excessive latencies, high costs, or other complications. A new generation of low-altitude commercial data relay satellites offers attractive opportunities to improve over-the-horizon telemetry and telecommand. Aurora Flight Sciences proposes to develop and demonstrate and atmospheric science data link using Orbital Sciences Corporation's ORBCOMM satellite system. While Aurora's work will be directed towards data relay requirements for aircraft and balloons, it will be applicable to a broad range of science pursuits including buoys and ground stations. ***
