SeaSpace Corporation to Introduce Transportable Satellite Ground Station

SeaSpace Corporation demonstrated its new Transportable TeraScan Terminal at the American Meteorological Society Meeting held Feb 9 – 13 in Long Beach, CA. The Company is first to introduce a completely transportable solution for simultaneous reception and processing of data from Geostationary and Low Earth Orbit meteorological satellites.

The Transportable TeraScan Terminal provides users with real-time data products from L-, S-, and X-Band satellites in a single, transportable configuration which can be towed, deployed on a ship, or transported via aircraft.

The Transportable TeraScan Terminal has been specifically designed to meet the armed forces Joint Mission Interoperability requirements, enabling naval, air and ground forces to utilize identical equipment.

The transportable systems are the culmination of over a decade of product development and deployment experience, with SeaSpace’s first shipboard terminals installed in 1990; portable systems deployed in 1994; and, mobile systems delivered in 1996.

The Transportable TeraScan Terminal is designed to complement current, fixed deployments, such as the L-Band and X-Band TeraScan systems installed for the U.S. Navy in Bahrain, or the L-Band and S-Band TeraScan systems installed elsewhere in the Middle East.

The American Meteorological Society promotes the development and dissemination of information and education of the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences. Founded in 1919, AMS has membership of more than 11,000 professionals, professors, students and weather enthusiasts.

This year’s meetings will feature speakers from the World Meteorological Organization, National Weather Association, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and keynote speaker Mr. Sean O’Keefe, Administrator of NASA.

Linda Bernstein, President of SeaSpace Corporation said, “SeaSpace has been an active member and supporter of the AMS for over 20 years. Their work, in collaborating with other academic, government and research agencies, has been extremely beneficial for all of us.”
