I have several questions that are really related to the Amiga, as I will explain later:
 
       1.  Does anyone know the data transmission rate for the LANDSAT system?  Specifically, the MSS
data?
 
       2.  Does anyone know the size of the data (in bytes) for a LANDSAT image?
 
       3.  Would a normal satellite dish, similar to the one used for TV reception, work to receive this type
of data?
 
       4.  Would it be possible to design an I/O device to work with the Amiga to receive and process the
data, at least to accomplish some pre-processing?
 
Any help on these questions would be appreciated.  I am researching a masters course project and this
information could prove of grat value.
 
Please send any answers to me EMail and if anyone wants the compiled data I will gladly forward any/all
responses to them.
