Principles • Routine operations are performed by using pre-approved repeatable procedures • Priority is given to maintaining satellite health & safety, capturing & delivering all the data, providing low risk and cost effective operations • Operations Focus to the Government’s Role • Branch Chiefs • Shift Supervisors & Team Leads • Technical Teams • Admin Staff

  11. Business Processes • Budgeting • Procurement • Contract Management • Configuration Management • Document Management • Workforce Management

  12. Constellation Overview The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) manages a constellation of four geostationary and twelve polar orbiting meteorological spacecraft. The spacecraft supported range in age from less than 1 year to 18 years. These satellites are distributed among three operational programs: the Geostationary Operational environmental Satellite Program (GOES), Polar Operational Environmental Satellite Program (POES) and the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). DMSP satellites have been operated by NOAA in support of the U.S. Air Force since 1997.

  13. Satellite Operations 24-hour Operations for GOES and Polar Systems • Functions include: • Data Acquisition • Spacecraft Navigation • Spacecraft Commanding • Health and Safety Monitoring • Orbit Determination • Onboard Tape Recorder Scheduling • Anomaly Response/Resolution • Trend Monitoring

  14. Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) Stations • The CDA stations are responsible for: • Executing spacecraft commands and schedules • Acquiring, maintaining and distributing a continuous flow of meteorological satellite data • Planning, designing and implementing system modifications Wallops CDA Station Fairbanks CDA Station

  16. GOES Program Overview • GOES satisfies national operational environmental requirements for 24-hour observation of weather and Earth’s environment • To meet requirements, GOES continuously maintains operational satellites at two locations (75 degrees West and 135 degrees West), with an on-orbit spare ready in case of failure GOES Geographic Coverage GOES-11 1350 West GOES-12 750 West
