Status of Polar Satellite Systems and
NWS Satellite Initiatives
2
Briefing Outline
• Joint Polar Satellite System (NOAA, NASA) Overview
• Defense Weather Satellite System (DoD) Overview
• Polar Satellite Continuity
• NPP Products
• Polar Data into Operations Initiatives
3
JPSS Overview
• JPSS operates in 13:30 (LTAN) orbital plane only
• Period of development/operations: through FY 2026
• Launch Readiness Dates: FY 2014 and FY 2018 (TBC)
• Maximum data latency of 80 minutes for JPSS-1; and 30 minutes for JPSS-2
• International partners provide some space segment components and/or data
– AMSR data will be provided by JAXA
• Depends on EUMETSAT providing mid-morning data under current and future agreements
Sensitive – For Official Use Only
4
JPSS Overview
• Maintain most NPOESS PM observations – VIIRS, ATMS, CrIS, OMPS (Nadir)
• Replace MIS option with JAXA GCOM Advanced Microwave Sounder (AMSR) data
• Accommodate sensors from NOAA Climate Sensor Program – TSIS, CERES/ERBS, OMPS Limb
• Accommodate internationally provided SARSAT, A-DCS
• Use SEM-N data from DWSS (AM orbit)
• Continue to depend on EUMETSAT for mid-morning orbit through current and future segment components and/or data
Sensitive – For Official Use Only
5
JPSS Progress• To ensure lowest risk of observational gap, first JPSS satellite
(JPSS-1) will use NPP clone bus with launch readiness in 2014
• Options for second JPSS satellite (JPSS-2), with launch readiness date in 2018, in work with NASA and DoD
• Due to JPSS-1 (NPP Clone) bus limitations, NOAA is seeking alternate platform, free flyer/rideshare for TSIS, SARSAT and A-DCS
• NOAA-managed shared ground system being coordinated with DoD to meet both JPSS and DWSS operations, data processing and data latency needs
• Program will be subject to independent review prior to program baseline
Sensitive – For Official Use Only

DMSP Overview
• 22 Jun 2010 Acquisition Decision Memo – Immediately begin acquisition efforts to support a 2018
launch for a DMSP successor– Develop a sensor suite consisting of VIIRS, SEM-N, and
(TBD) microwave sensing capability for DMSP successor
– Transition the NPOESS sensors/elements needed to support JPSS program NLT 31 Dec 2010
– Implement above actions to maximize use of Govt’s investment in NPOESS, and in a manner that offers max opportunities for collaboration w/ JPSS
• ADM directed AF to conduct 45-day study and brief DAB early August (costs/schedule/sensor suite)

DMSP User Impacts and MitigationSummary
Potential User Impacts Mitigation
Latency – improved latency not until JPSS-2
- Identify ground receiver architecture and fielding plan
- Exploring regional vs global model implications with NCEP
Working full ocean color capability on NPOESS C1
- Cross-talk fix identified for VIIRS on JPSS-1 but yet to be tested
Uncertainty on TSIS, SARSAT, and ADCS rides
- NESDIS discussing ride options with national and international partners
Uncertainty on SEM-N - SEM-N on DWSS-1
- NESDIS exploring SEM-N on MetOp
DoD working to identify impacts tied to DWSS as the program defined
