P. M. Feinberg, Marvin S. Maxwell · IEEE transactions on geoscience electronics · 1970
A data-handling concept is described which provides a great degree of flexibility in the sampling and formatting of satellite data, the flexibility being achieved without design or wiring changes. The system was conceived and breadboarded at Goddard Space Flight Center and is now successfully flying on the Nimbus IV spacecraft.
