Discussed in the report is the possibility of developing low-cost autonomous weather satellite receiving and processing centers for more efficient use of medium-resolution satellite data. The suggested approach is based on the experience gained during development and operations of SMIS HRPT Acquisition station and Processing Center. The report shows the ways to implement the low-cost soultions to achieve full automation of operations during data acquisition, pre-processing, thematic processing and storage, based on careful software design and networking capabilities.
