An Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) satellite will be launched by NASA at the libration point on the sun-earth line (L1), 1.5 million km upstream to the sun. The primary scientific purpose of ACE is to determine and compare the isotopic and elemental composition of the solar corona, the interplanetary medium, local interstellar medium and Galactic matter. Besides this, the basic parameters of the solar wind which are pertinent in forecasting space environment variations near the earth, especially the onset of geomagnetic storms will be predicted. This sub-mission has been proposed by NOAA/SEC and is called the RTSW option. RTSW data will be transmitted in real-time at a low-bit rate of 434 bps for 24 hours/day. To achieve 24-hour real-time monitoring we need at least three ground telemetry stations evenly spaced in longitude. The Communications Research Laboratory will operate one of these stations in the Far East longitude sector.
