Summary: | The communication of data in real-time to users from ground stations in remote areas is a major objective of recent space technology. The data collection system considered uses small battery-operated ground-based transmitters called data collection platforms (DCP). The feasibility of collecting environmental data in extreme cold and windy environments using the ERTS DCP, has been investigated. A summary of the results of an evaluation of the system used is presented. |
