Data Handling for the UKS Spacecraft

This paper describes how data from the AMPTE UKS Spacecraft is acquired and processed by the United Kingdom Operations and Control Centre (UKOCC) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. A review of UKOCC data handling is followed by a description of the systems used to analyze and display data in real time and to generate files and tapes of full-resolution and survey data post-pass. Examples are given of the survey data plots.
