Replenishment plans



Iridium ballpark costs

  • Dial-up + SBD modem: $1000

  • SBD-only modem: $400

  • Monthly fee: $14 - $30

  • Call costs: ~$1 per minute

    • $0.1 per kbyte for files > few kbyte
  • Data costs: ~$1.50 per kbyte



SAMS activities in polar science

  • Role of sea ice in climate change

  • Several polar deployments

  • Use of Iridium, Orbcomm and Argos

  • EU GreenIce project

  • CryoSat validation

  • Opportunities during IPY 2007-8

  • Development of new platforms for flux, hydrographic and meteo measurements
