MEOS™ Polar v5 - Fully redesigned
The v5 benefits from all the same improvements as MEOS™ Capture v5, as it is built on top of a complete MEOS™ Capture v5 system.
The MEOS™ Polar software provides all the necessary tools for ingesting data from the Front End System, and for automatic and manual operation of the ground station. MEOS™ Polar automatically performs the scheduling of passes, the receiving, processing and distribution of data.
The MEOS™ Polar includes all needed software packages to process up to Level 1 for supported missions using both KDA Spacetec software and integrated 3rd party processing packages.
