  3. Constellation Orbital Configuration NOAA-18 NOAA-16 2221A (drift=-0.6min/mo) 2120A (drift = +3.1 min/mo) NOAA-12 NOAA-15 1744A (drift=-2.0min/mo) 1703A (drift=+1.2min/mo) NOAA-14 1513 (drift=+3.2min/mo) NOAA-17 1200 Local noon 1346 (drift=-1.0min/mo) Sun

  4. NOAA-18 (5/11/05) Primary PM satellite GACs LACs HIRS testing HRPT on STX-1 (low frequency) No APT NOAA-17 (6/24/02) Primary AM satellite GACS LACs HRPT on STX-3 (high frequency) AP NOAA-16 (9/21/00) Secondary PM satellite GACs No LACs HRPT on STX-1 (low frequency) No APT NOAA-15 (5/13/98) Backup AM satellite GACs No LACs (downlink constraint) HRPT on STX-2 (middle frequency) No APT NOAA-14 (12/30/94) Discontinued IPD support – October 6, 2006 SEM and DCS HRPT on STX-3 (high frequency) No APT NOAA-12 (5/14/91) Discontinued IPD general support October 6, 2006 SEM and DCS 1B will continue HRPT on STX-1 (low frequency) will continue for direct readout only APT will continue Constellation Configuration

  5. Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) Status Aug 1, 2006 NOAA-12 Standby LTAN=17:06 NOAA-18 Primary LTAN=13:43 NOAA-17 Primary LTAN=22:19 NOAA-16 Backup LTAN=15:23 NOAA-15 Backup LTAN=17:38 NOAA-14 Standby LTAN=21:39 Payload Instrument AVHRR G G Y Y Y G HIRS Y1 G Y G Y R3 AMSU-A1 G G R2 Y Y AMSU-A2 G G G G AMSU-B G G Y MHS G MSU Y R4 SSU DCS G G G G G G SARR G Y G Y G SARP G G G G R5 SEM G G Y G G G SBUV G Y Y G

  6. Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) Status Aug 1, 2006 NOAA-14 Standby LTAN=21:39 NOAA-12 Standby LTAN=17:06 NOAA-18 Primary LTAN=13:43 NOAA-17 Primary LTAN=22:19 NOAA-16 Backup LTAN=15:23 NOAA-15 Backup LTAN=17:38 Spacecraft Bus Command and Control G G G G Y G Electrical Power G G G G Y G Attitude Determination G G Y G G G Communications G Y Y G G G Thermal Control G Y G G G G Data Handling (Recorders) G Y G Y Y G Status Key for POES R = Failed Not Operational O = Unable to meet most requirements Y = Capable of meeting some, but not all requirements G = Capable of meeting all requirements  = Status Change

  7. NOAA-18 HIRS • NOAA-18 HIRS H305 on-orbit testing: • September 11 - Commanded scan mirror to IWT position (parked) and turned FW housing heater on. (Completed) • September 13 - Completed 48-hour soak with heater on. Turned heater off at 20:33z. (Completed) • September 14 - Commenced normal scanning at 18:30z. (Completed) • September 15 thru 22 - Monitor radiometric data • September 25 - Command mirror to IWT position (parked) and turn FW housing heater on

  8. NOAA-18 HIRS(continued) • September 27 After completing 48-hour soak with heater on, commence Test #2 varying mirror positions, at completion turn Filter Wheel housing heater off • September 28 - Commence normal scanning • September 29 thru October 6 - Monitor radiometric data • October 6 – 1800 UTC Telecon (tentative) to discuss data and test results.

  9. Pre-K Operational Support • NOAA-12 and NOAA-14 level 1B support terminates on October 6, 2006 • Current operational systems replaced with UNIX platforms • Pre-K 1B processing will not be ported to new systems due to resource constraints • SEM and DCS processing will continue • Limited access (available passes) • HRPT data will still be available to the direct readout user community

  10. GOES East GOES 12 GOES O GOES P NOAA 18 (PM) NOAA N’ (PM) NOAA N-Prime (PM) METOP-C (mid-AM) Continuity of Operational Satellite Programs NOAA Satellite Launches* Scheduled to Maintain Continuity CY 2007 2004 2005 2006 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 GOES 10 GOES 11 GOES West GOES 13 GOES R NOAA 16 (PM) NOAA 17 (AM) METOP-A (mid-AM) European Coordination METOP-B (mid-AM) NPP NPOESS C1 (PM) NPOESS C2 (AM) NPOESS C3 (PM) NPOESS C4 (AM)launch late 2022 * Actual launch dates are determined by the failure of on-orbit assets Satellite is operational beyond design life ** Assumes METOP will provide the morning orbit and NOAA-N’ will provide afternoon orbit instruments On-orbit GOES storage *** GOES R-Series may be single or suite of satellites (distributed constellation) Extended operation 8/22/2006

  11. Polar Launches

  12. Metop-2 Points of Interest • Same NOAA instruments as NOAA-N/18, except SBUV (morning mission) • Metop unique instruments • IASI • ASCAT • GOME • GRAS • Maneuvers – in plane and out-of-plane • Yaw-steering • Level 1B format changes • New Telemetry data file

  13. Metop-2 Points of Interest(continued) • Level 1B processing changes • FRAC (Full Resolution Area Coverage) 1b data available and archived • GAC generated from FRAC on the ground but not archived • Eumetsat unique instrument 1B/1C data available • Users need to register with Eumetsat • Data encryption when in data denial mode • Data available after launch • NESDIS will not distribute data to user community until 60 days after launch for testing only • Will not be declared operational until at least 6 months after launch or when notified by Eumetsat

  14. NOAA-N Prime • Satellite integration status: • Spacecraft mechanical assembly complete • Detailed Electrical Testing of spacecraft complete • Instruments integrated with electrical testing underway • Environmental testing to start this fall. • Current contractual launch date is December 2007 • Looking at options to delay launch date to February 2009 to ensure continuity of data and services until launch of first NPOESS satellite
