International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 19-21, 1979 / Town and Country Hotel, San Diego, California === High density tape recorders are being provided by Martin Marietta Corporation to facilitate Landsat D data acquisition and processing. High rate data form the Landsat D Thematic mapper and from the multispectrial scanner are to be stored on high density recorders of 42, 28, and 14 track configurations. Successive stages of data processing will utilize higher error-free reproduce techniques and tape systems will provide ease of operation with a variety of differing record and reproduce data rates. The design and implementation of these recorders will be discussed.
