Some of the data handling considerations that led to the formulation of the data processing requirements for the ERTS system are discussed. The significant parameters that influence these requirements are: (1) payload characteristics, (2) spacecraft characteristics such as orbit, attitude and attitude rates, (3) payload coverage, and (4) product types and quantities. Items 3 and 4 have had the most significant influence on the generation of the requirements.
