Kevin Engle is the Station Manager of the University of Alaska's International Observatory of the North (ION) Direct Readout satellite reception facility. This facility currently houses two real-time reception systems: an L-Band High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) station receiving NOAA Polar Orbiter (AVHRR/DCS/TOVS) data and Orbview-2 (SeaWiFS) data and an X-Band receiving station receiving MODIS data from the EOS Terra and Aqua missions. He has developed and maintained the operational Direct Readout Reception capability at the University of Alaska Fairbanks since 1993 with the installation of the HRPT station at UAF and more recently with the addition of the X-band receiving station in 2001. He has worked closely with students and researchers both at UAF and other institutions as well as local, state, and federal agencies in automated processing and delivery of satellite data-derived products to meet their research and/or operational requirements.
