Development of a tool to read out HRPT data of NOAA polar orbiter received at Syowa Station

A processing tool for HRPT data archived in the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) was developed to read out the data and display the images. This tool was created with a free C compiler and X window libraries on a UNIX workstation, making the ability to process the data independent of the...
