The Wideband Advanced Recorder Processor (WARP) is a high rate
solid state recorder on EO-1. It is used to capture high rate range data from the Advanced Land Imager (ALI), Atmospheric Corrector (AC), and the Hyperion instruments.
The WARP consists of a high rate (up to 900 Mbps capability), high  density (48Gbit storage), low weight (less than 22.0 Kg) solid state recorder/processor with X-band modulation capability. It uses advanced integrated circuit packaging (3D stacked memory devices) and "chip on board" bonding techniques to obtain extremely high density memory storage per board (24Gbits/memory card).
It also includes a Mongoose 5 processor which can perform on-orbit data collection, compression and processing of land image scenes.
The WARP incorporates a number of high density
electronic board advanced packaging techniques and provides the highest
rate solid state recorder NASA has ever flown.
Its basic architecture and underlying technologies will be required
for future earth imaging missions which need to collect, store and process
high rate land imaging data.
