An M-JPEG video compression system has been modified to satisfy the unique requirements of space-based applications. ["M-JPEG" signifies the still-image-data-compression method of the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) as applied to moving (e.g., video) images.] This ruggedly constructed, modular system is compatible with NASA interfaces and meets Agency requirements for reduced size, weight, and power. The M-JPEG system generates test patterns, enables users to select compression characteristics and desired output rate, is inexpensive to modify and upgrade, and has features that are adaptable to mission-specific requirements.
