RapidEye Imagery for Eagle Vision (Air Force)

Abstract

Test software for integration of RapidEye into EagleVision. RapidEye is a constellation of five Earth remote-sensing satellites intended for broad-area multispectral optical imaging, with the capability to image areas of interest multiple times per day. The five-satellite constellation redundancy enhances its availability and survivability and eliminates single-point-of-failure risk unique to single spacecraft. The primary output is the integration of the RapidEye satellite constellation ground station interface into one of five Eagle Vision Data Acquisition Segment (DAS) sites; and following a successful FCT evaluation of this initial integration, the program would subsequently integrate the same ground station interface into the four remaining Eagle Vision sites.
