Historical Notes:
SSEC has been designing and building satellite ingestors since the mid-1970s. The current generation, the SSEC Data Ingestor (SDI-104), is the successor to the SSEC Desktop Ingestor (SDI, which were manufactured between 1997 and 2005). Beginning in 2005, the SDI NOAAPORT system was replaced by the NOAAPORT Receive System.
