GOES MISSIONGOES MISSION

• Satisfies national operational environmental requirements for 24 hour observation of weather, Earth’s environment, and solar and space environment

– Support storm-scale weather forecasting and numerical modelers

• To meet requirements, GOES continuously maintains operational satellites at two locations (75º West and 135º West)

– On-orbit spare ready in case of failure

• GOES-I Series (8-12) current operational series

• GOES-N Series (13-15) under contract

• GOES-R Series, follow-on continuity program to GOES-N Series, under design

GOES-10135o West

GOES-1275o West

On orbit spare

The Nation requires continuous availability of highly accurate, timely and reliable data of the United States to monitor events that may adversely affect lives and property, and the Nation’s environmental, national, homeland and economic security.

GOES-R is expanding support to improve characterization of the atmosphere, enhance space weather capabilities and increase resolution to monitor valuable coastal regions. GOES-R will provide improved understanding of climate variability and change through long-term trending. In addition. GOES-R environmental information enables safe and efficient transportation.

http://www.osd.noaa.govhttp://www.osd.noaa.gov

FY 2005 request emphasizes the end-to-end System Architecture, allowing industry to participate in NOAA’s future definition of architecture and infrastructure.GOES-R supports NOAA’s strategic goals: weather and water, climate, ecosystems, and commerce and transportation,.

CHALLENGE – MAINTAIN DATA CONTINUITY

CHALLENGE – MAINTAIN DATA CONTINUITY

• Launch dates driven by need for 2 operational and at least 1 on-orbit spare at all times

• GOES-R must be launched by Oct 2012, in order to be sufficiently checked out and available as on-orbit spare when P is turned on (planned for Apr 2013)

• 12, N, P projected operations determine when R must be launched as spare – next scheduled update is 2008 (planned N turn on)

• 10, 11, O projected operations affect system availability percentage, but not R need date

Planned Activation Date Planned Launch Date Projected OperationsExtended Life Projected On-Orbit Storage No Spare

CHALLENGE – BALANCED USER BENEFIT VS COST

CHALLENGE – BALANCED USER BENEFIT VS COST
