  1. Meteorological Satellite Status ReportA Sample of Key Developments Matthew A. LazzaraAntarctic Meteorological Research CenterSpace Science and Engineering CenterUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison

  2. Sample Topics • Sample key developments: • NOAA-N’ • GIFTS • A-Train • MGS Science Workshop • Meteosat-8 • Status of US Satellites • POES/NOAA & DMSP • GOES • NASA/Research NASA

  3. The End of NOAA-N’ ? NOAA

  4. Severe damage to the instruments and communications Unlikely to be launched… ?? Repairs Pending… 2008??

  5. GIFTS What is GIFTS? • Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) • 32,600 sensors to collect data, scanning an area of 512 kilometers square every ten seconds (~3000 Channels)!! • 60 Mb/sec - X-band • Joint NASA, NOAA, US Navy, SSEC/University of Wisconsin-Madison, Space Dynamics Laboratory/Utah State University • Status • NASA – Descoping NMP EO-3 • NOAA – still funding R&D for GOES-R HES • Navy – Continuing GIFTS partnership despite lack of spacecraft funding • Instrument may still be built regardless – may yet have a future (Proposal submitted)

  6. Take the A-Train…Satellites Flying in Polar Orbiting Formation! Within 23 minutes of each other! NASA Aura Launch: 2004 OCO Launch: 2007 CloudSat Launch: 2004 PARASOL Launch: 2004 Aqua On Orbit CALIPSO Launch: 2004

  7. McMurdo Ground Station Science WorkshopThe Ohio State University Byrd Polar Research Center March 9-11, 2004 Photos by Mike Comberiate

  8. MGS Science Workshop: Recommendations • Communications • Internet Improvements needed • Short-, Mid-, Long-term solutions suggested • Science and Operational Requirements • Short-,Mid-,Long-term implementation • Multi-discipline benefits • Recommend the installation of a stand-alone direct readout reception station for science and operational use by the United States Antarctic Program and its partners. • Recommend the processing and use of direct broadcast data be required/possible both on site at McMurdo Station as well as off site. • Limiting Factors • There is more….report will be available in July. Pat Smith

  9. Meteosat-8aka MSG-1(Meteosat Second Generation) • Multi-channel Imager • Rules with encryption! • 6 hour • 3 hour • 15 minute • 3 days • Once MTSAT-1R is launched late 2004 multi-channel Antarctic composites possible!!

  10. Status NOAA-12 AVHRR good HIRS/MSU bad NOAA-14 AVHRR bad HIRS good, MSU o.k. NOAA-15 AVHRR o.k. AMSU-A1 o.k. AMSU-A2 good AMSU-B/HIRS o.k. NOAA-16 AVHRR o.k AMSU-A1 o.k. AMSU-A2/-B/HIRS good NOAA-17 AVHRR good AMSU-A1 bad AMSU-A2/-B/HIRS good Future Launches NOAA-N – 10/4/2004 NOAA-N’ – 2008 ? NPP – 10/2006 NPOESS – 11/2009 Water Vapor Channel on 3rd NPOESS (?) More in Art Cayette’s brief… POES/NOAA

  11. Status DMSP F12 Still operating… DMSP F13 Operational since 1995 DMSP F14 Operational since 1997 DMSP F15 Operational since 2000 DMSP F16 New! Launched 10/18/03 OLS data 11/04/03 Future Launches DMSP F17 – 2005 DMSP F18 – 200? DMSP F19 – 200? DMSP F20 – 200? *All morning orbits!? DMSP NGDC

  12. Status GOES-8 DEORBIT Deactivated!!! Placed 350 km above geostationary orbit Turned off telemetry and command transmitter 5 May 04 GOES-9 GOES Pacific Operational On loan to JMA replacing GMS Working better than when it was put into storage! GOES-10 GOES West Operational GOES-11 STORAGE On orbit storage Up coming test/out of storage GOES-12 GOES-East Operational Future Launches GOES-N – 12/2004 GOES-O – 7/2007 GOES-P – 10/2008 GOES-Q – option only (may never be built…Canceled?) GOES-R – Launch 2012 New Imager ABI and new Sounder HES GOES

  13. NASA - EOS • Polar orbiting: • Terra • On orbit • Has had some issues • Near design life expectancy • Aqua • On orbit – operating nominally • Aura • Launch 2004 • Geostationary (EO-3) • Descoped…. NASA

  14. Questions? Total Eclipse Of the Sun 23 Nov 03 23:00 UTC Terra MODIS
