Remote System and Anomaly Management
Setup of VPN connection between the two sites
Two parallel tunnels over different networks
The secure channel allow remote system
management
Satellite anomaly and Ground system anomaly
statistics and details are shared
33rd Asia-Pacific Advanced Network Meeting, 13-17 February 2012, Chiangmai
Joint Programming
 Increased shared value
 Decrease time between
acquisition
 Better response to emergency
situation

Technical assistance/workshop
Both organizations share their core competences
Done both in person and remotely
Remote assistance and workshop includes:
 E-learning
 Online training
 Remote Access over secured network to sensitive
equipments
 Exchange of information
33rd Asia-Pacific Advanced Network Meeting, 13-17 February 2012, Chiangmai
Topics for Technical Workshop Training Course
Degradation trend and parameter adjustment for
degraded equipment
Experience training operation on redundant
equipment
Experience from bug fixing on Flight Software
Optimization of Attitude and Orbital maneuvers
33rd Asia-Pacific Advanced Network Meeting, 13-17 February 2012, Chiangmai
Network Implementation Plan
 Currently, all activities are done over the
internet.
 Current bandwidth available is approx.
5 Mbps
BUT
 All 3 of GISTDA’s site is connected to the
UniNET
 Which is part of TEIN 3 research network
 NSPO is in discussion to connect to the
TEIN3 network through the University in
Taiwan
 Possible Bandwidth – 20 Mbps
33rd Asia-Pacific Advanced Network Meeting, 13-17 February 2012, Chiangmai
What would be possible?
Loop Test Bangkok (UniNet) - Kuala Lumpur (Universiti Putra Malaysia)
Uploading period to MY server
o Tested files (THEOS images) was uploaded via internet
connection
o 3 Image files (199 MB, 189 MB, 748MB) = 1.5 GB
o Using TEIN3 Route with UniNet server
o Topology: ThaiREN Node – TEIN3 – Singapore Node
o Bandwidth: 20 Mbps
o Upload Time for 1.5 GB data: 4.52 min
(748 MB data uses 2-3 min)

Polar Station Data Transfer
Acquisition
in Sweden
 Acquisition of Satellite data in Sweden
 All Data are transferred for further processing in
Thailand.
 The polar station is connected with SUNET.
Network
 GISTDA’s station is connected with UniNet.
 The data volume is around 690 MB to 30 GB image
data per one orbits (~2 orbits/day) or upto 60 GB
per day
Replay Production
in Thailand
 Use of Data transfer over GEANT and TEIN3 greatly
reduces transfer time in case of emergency situation

Conclusion
GISTDA is employing the research network to
improve response to emergency situations
Remote maintenance and assistance greatly
reduce the cost of maintenance
Plans to connect to NSPO through the Research
network
Tests show that bandwidth available will be
multiple fold over the current available system

Remote System management
 GISTDA faces problem with S-band Antenna system
 Slow recovery time due to foreign contractors
 Reduced communication with THEOS
 28 Jun 2010 : GISTDA-NSPO Meeting at NSPO
 16 Sep 2010 : Cooperation Meeting between
NSPO&GISTDA at SiRacha station Thailand on the Topic
“Implementation of inter-operability between NSPO and
GISTDA”
 Both party agreed to implement the inter-operability of
system.
