From
the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer Mission EUVE).
This dataflow demonstration lesson and accompanying applet
show how data from an earth orbiting scientific satellite is transferred to the
scientists on the ground. Unlike the RHESSI mission, the EUVE
satellite makes use of communications satellites to transfer it's data to ground
stations on earth. The RHESSI
ground station at UC Berkeley will have its own 30 meter antenna which will
communicate directly with the RHESSI satellite.

Space Network (DSN)
This tutorial focuses on image transmission from deep space missions,
but much of the information is also applicable to near earth missions like
RHESSI.
