EPOD Program: “details”
MARSec is a Ground Station of Israeli Satellite EROS-A1 and EROS-B and it is certified by ImageSat Intl as
Exclusive Pass On Demand (EPOD) Station since 2009.
The EPOD Program enables our Ground Station:
 to task the EROS-B satellite and to receive directly all the acquired imagery
on 60 selected passes per year, into our footprint,
as set forth in the commercial agreement (Orbit Reserved service);
 to acquire images in the entire world with different delivery options
(Standard and Rush Tasking Services).

EPOD Program: “How-to”
Main advantages of the Orbit Reserved service are:
• Exclusivity: MARSec has exclusive control over all
images acquired on selected orbit
• Autonomy: MARSec has full and indipendent control
to use satellite camera
• Flexibility: MARSec selects imaging parameter (type of
images, imaging resolution, scanning angle, time of
integration)

Ground Segment: “X-band Antenna System”
The antenna system is: “SeaSpace TeraScan 4.5m, X-Band Polar Satellite Tracking Antenna”.
• three axis X-band parabolic antenna of 4.5 meter of diameter;
• the dish is mounted inside fiberglass radome, on base frame;
• the tracking system puts the antenna in the position to lock satellite carrier signal 2
minutes and 40 seconds before the rendez-vous.
When the carrier is locked, the track system performe a positive feedback for satellite
tracking.

Ground Segment: “Mission Planning System”
The Mission Planning System (MPS) enables MARSec to plan
the targets that will be acquired on selected orbit.
Steps:
1. select the suitable orbits on our footprint
(we can generate 3 weeks of orbits)
2. submit the request to Imagesat
3. plan the targets
(mission planning)
4. send the OS file to GCS
(The command file generated by MPS shall be sent via ftp to ImageSat
GCS for EROS-B satellite uplink)
Last call: 36 h before morning uplink – standard
05:00 UTC day of imaging - emergency
With S-band TX antenna system :
last call for up-link 20 minutes before AOS

MARSec EPOD Program
Ground Segment: “Mission Planning System”
Orbital prediction: this module allows to predict the next 3
weeks of satellite revolutions.
That is to say, 21 days of orbits….
Strategy: this module is the most important part of MPS,
in fact it allows to plan the “imaging mission” and to
choose the acquisition parameters.
We can select:
1. The type of target:
basic, vector, stereo pair, triplet
2. The imaging parameter:
• Scan azimuth
• Start and End imaging angle (mean point angle)
• Lighting condition (TDI)
… as a camera photo …

MARSec EPOD Program
EROS-B single pass-single target multiple imaging : stereo pair, triplet, persistent
We image each stereo pair with a start angle of 25 and finish angle of -25.
With these angles:
• 7 km targets require a distance of ~140.
• 20 km targets require a distance of ~180.
We add nadiral scene for triplet.
