CHALLENGES IN OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF ANTARCTICA GROUND STATION FOR EARTH OBSERVATION SATELLITES

Remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) through Earth Observation (EO) Satellites have become most important tools for many of the societal applications of day-to-day life, during the past few decades of the 21st century, and this need is rapidly increasing. Presently, EO payload (P...
