Section 3 Outline of <strong>ALOS</strong> Satellite System3.2.3.1 <strong>Data</strong> Compression (DC)<strong>Data</strong> Compression (DC) functions to compress mission data of PRISM and AVNIR-2. PRISM data iscompressed by an irreversible compression with a compression rate of 1/4.5 or 1/9 as shown in Table 3.2-12.Table 3.2-12 <strong>Data</strong> Compression of PRISM <strong>Data</strong>InstrumentPRISM<strong>Data</strong> rate beforecompression960Mbps(320Mbps x 3 systems)Compression rate1/4.51/9<strong>Data</strong> rate aftercompression240Mbps(80Mbps x 3 systems)120Mbps(40Mbps x 3 systems)ReversibilityIrreversibleIrreversibleAVNIR-2 data is compressed by a reversible compression with a compression rate of 3/4 as shown in Table3.2-13.Table 3.2-13 <strong>Data</strong> Compression of AVNIR-2 <strong>Data</strong>InstrumentAVNIR-2<strong>Data</strong> rate beforecompression160Mbps(40Mbps x 4 bands)Compression rate3/4<strong>Data</strong> rate aftercompression120Mbps(30Mbps x 4 systems)ReversibilityReversible3.2.3.2 Mission <strong>Data</strong> Coding (MDC)MDC functions to multiplex mission data and other telemetry data.
