  5. National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System • 2008-2018 …. Timeframe • Converges Civil and Defense Requirements • Leverages EU Cooperation • Opportunity for Argos enhancements

  6. Current Program Status • NOAA/CNES Letter of Intent recognizing interest in continued cooperation beyond NOAA-N’ • NOAA/CNES meetings in March, June, October 2002 to discuss Argos requirements for NPOESS • NPOESS Contract Awarded

  7. DCS Requirements Identification • Argos • User Surveys • 1995 requirements flying in 2008 / NOAA N' • Conducting survey of wildlife / low power applications • User Group Conferences • DBCP • International Argos Users Conference March 2001 • User Visits • Transmitter Manufacturers • Universities • Ocean U.S.

  8. Future Argos DCS Requirements • Qualitative vs. Quantitative • JCOMM Cross-cutting issue/NESDIS Sr Scientist • More data transmission capability • Recommends workshop to define future requirements • DBCP baseline survey of developments in satellitecommunication systems • Commercial market not optimized for Ocean Observations

  9. Argos User Role • “Brain-Storm” Possible Enhancements • Document Anticipated Requirements • Establish Argos Interest Group for NPOESS? - Robert.Bassett@noaa.gov
