SKYTAP™
weather
satellite imagery products are updated continuously, in real-time
as they are generated by the GOES weather satellites, and can be
accessed via high-speed Internet connections and dial-up modem communications.
Marta Systems maintains dedicated GOES-West and GOES-East GVAR
Direct Readout Groundstations to
provide real-time imaging at the maximum scan-rate of each spacecraft.
SKYTAP™ service supports Internet connectivity at up
to T1 (1.54Mbit/sec) speed, and dial-up modem connections at up
to 56k-bps.
Marta
Systems' SKYTAP™
Graphics Weather Software or
WeatherPoint® software is
required to access the weather satellite imagery service and display
the products on personal computer systems.
