The KOMPSAT-2 DCSU(the data compression & storage unit) performs the acquisition of image data from cameras, the compression with requested compression rate, the storage with specified file ID on the mission command and the distribution to the assigned DLS(Data Link System) channels per the mission and operation requirements. The worldwide observation using the MSC is able to be achieved by this DCSU's behavior. This paper presents the features of KOMPSAT-2 DCSU and provides proper ground operation concept after launch.
