A PRODUCTION SHIP TERMINAL FOR THE MARISAT SYSTEM
Previous papers by the author given at RTCM Assemblies have dealt with design problems and solutions related to a ship terminal for use in the Marisat System. This paper describes the final product which has been in production for one year and is currently installed on a number of merchant ships. Installation problems are discussed. The Atlantic Marisat Satellite was launched on 19 February 1976 and scheduled for commercial operation only a few weeks prior to the 1976 RTCM Assembly. The experience gained during the test phase and the few weeks of commercial operation using the Atlanta based ship terminal are described.
