David Taylor's
HRPT Reader (Read HRPT data and produce false-color
interpretations) free software he has developed. HRPT
Reader - processes HRPT data in a variety of formats and can
produce false-color images and APT thumbnails. Individual sensor
channels can be viewed or combined to RGB channels, with temperature
calibration and geographic overlays. You can process data from your
own receiver, or data obtained from the Internet, so no receiver is
required. Includes
Correct Geometry which removes the scanner geometric distortion from
raw HRPT images Satellite Pictures are decoded using
HRPT Format
and David Taylor's Software from .

it is available off the Internet from the comprehensive
Satellite Active Archive (SAA) as
