Abstract
Remote sensing technology using the meteorological satellites and the earth resources satellites has become powerful tool for observation of earth environment. The paper describes the direct data acquisition system from the meteorological satellite NOAA set in Nihon University campus. The system consists of the 64 element array antenna, the receiver, the decoder, the mount controller and the data recorder. The system is controlled by the UNIX work-station and personal computers(Windows98). The antenna consisting of the disk coupled resonant antennas has a gain of 30.6 dBi. The stable data acquisition from the meteorological satellites has been realized.
