During the design phase the project was referred to by the NDSP
acronym which stands for the 'New Digital Seismograph Project".
The goal was a seismograph with low enough power that it could
be deployed without solar panels for teleseismic studies for
about two months between service runs. While low power operation
is important, we also wanted excellent timing accuracy, data
accuracy, and deployment reliability.
