Göktürk: Data simulator for space-borne multispectral sensor
Project reference period: 2013 on going
Founded by: Turkish National Security Regulations, as eGEOS’s supply.
Technologies
The simulator frontend relies on Javascript (OpenLayers), Xquery and ExtJS. The backend uses modules and services written in Python (together with GDAL libraries and Pyramid framework) and interacts with a geographical extended database management system (PostgreSQL together with PostGIS extensions). Most of backend communications relies on JSON. Geographical data is provided by Geoserver.
B-Open’s Role
B-Open has been taking care of the design, the development, the assembly, the integration, the testing phase and the production of an image simulator for the multispectral sensor installed on Göktürk satellite (Turkish Ministry of Defence). The project has been carried on following a tailoring of ECSS and MILSTD498 standards.
