  1. GOES-R R&D Instrument Workshop Dennis Chesters/NASA Paul Menzel/NOAA Stan Wilson/NOAA ------------------ 17 November 2005 http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/R&D

  2. GOES-R R&D Agenda • 9-10 am - Introduction • 10 am - Break • 10-12 am - PI Presentations • 12-1 pm - Lunch • 1-3 pm - Review • 3 pm - End

  3. GOES-R R&DOutline of Introduction • Introduce ourselves, signup sheet • Purpose of this meeting • Program issues • Previous Instrument of Opportunity • NOAA's Technology Infusion • WMO GeoLab • GOES-R mission outline • PI Presentations today

  4. GOES-R R&DAttendance List

  5. GOES-R R&D Purpose of meeting • Identify candidates for an R&D science instrument on GOES-R (NASA-funded, NOAA-operated) • Science need & ops potential • GOES viewpoint essential • Instrument concept • Technical issues • GOES-R platform requirements/impact • Result: Possible GSFC support • ESSP proposal preparation • ISAL design & cost • management decision, later

  6. GOES-R R&D Program issues • This workshop is a Goddard initiative • Director of GSFC asked for this • NASA-HQ, NOAA-HQ, and GOES-R program not committed to R&D option • GOES-R system formulation contracts just starting - end 2006 • R&D capacity on GOES-R is TBD • We are informal input

  7. GOES-R R&DPrevious Instrument of Opportunity (IOO) • NOAA contract option for IOO • NASA instrument, NOAA ops • GOES-8/12 and GOES-N/O/P • S/C capacity* ~ lightning mapper • 14 proposals in the late 1990's • Never done - high accommodation costs • Too late now *see next slide

  8. GOES-R R&DIOO specs, GOES-R option? • 100 x 60 x 40 cm box on optical bench • 50 x 50 cm aperture - 100's meter visible resolution • No dark face for cooling • 50 kg (35 + 15 kg = box + externals) • 150 watts (250 watt option) • Tolerate semi-annual N-S flip • Multi-use Data Link to Wallops -- get data from there • 100 kilobits/sec (680 kbps option) -- data rate limited • Microradian perturbations -- barely moving parts

  9. GOES-R R&DNOAA technology infusion • The NESDIS strategic plan calls for decisions by 2010 on the following options for GOES-R: • Microwave imaging/sounding systems from geo • Data compression • Autonomous satellite operations • Advanced satcom and data handling architectures • Space weather measurements • The NESDIS tech infusion committee added: • Solar sails

  10. GOES-R R&Dcurrent WMO GeoLab • Free-flying R&D satellites at GEO • Big instruments for big results • Microwave imaging and/or sounding (GOMAS) • 4-D hyperspectral infrared sounding and/or chemistry (GIFTS) • Looking for international collaboration

  11. GOES-R Development • In production • ABI (Advanced Baseline Imager) • In formulation/descope • HES (Hyperspectral Environmental Suite) • SEISS (Space Environment In-Situ Suite) • SIS (Solar Imaging Suite) • SCor (Solar Coronagraph) • GLM (Geosynchronous Lightning Mapper) • TBD • Spacecraft(s?), Launch, Ground System

  12. GOES-R Master Schedule

  13. GOES-R Data Products (1 of 2) SND = Hyperspectral Environmental Infrared Sounder CW = Hyperspectral Coastal Waters (imager)

  14. GOES-R Data Products (2 of 2) SND = Hyperspectral Environmental Infrared Sounder CW = Hyperspectral Coastal Waters (imager)

  15. I'll be happy to give you innovative thinking.What are the guidelines?

  16. GOES-R R&DGEO-Suitability Checklist • Valuable science -- unpredictable regional transients and/or transport • Operational potential • Social value & popular appeal • Medium cost, size, weight, power, data rate • Modern but mature technology for innovative research instrument • HQ interest at NOAA & NASA

  17. GOES-R R&D Some Science Data Proposals • Aerosols • Tropospheric Chemistry & Transport • All-weather Soundings (microwave sounding) • Water Vapor Flux (animated hyperspectral IR) • Precipitation (microwave imaging) • Cloud Physics • Coastal Zones • Lightning • Fires • Volcanic Emissions • Aurora & Thermosphere/Ionosphere • GEO-environment Particles & Fields • Solar Corona

  18. GOES-RPost-lunch review • For each concept, summarize: • Science goal in NASA's mission* • Potential operations in NOAA's mission • Value of GOES viewpoint • Instrument concept • Key technical issues • GOES-R platform requirements • Mass, power, size, data rate, pointing, east/west station * Director of GSFC wants this

  19. GOES-R R&DToday's presentations • microwave sounder -- Dave Staelin/MIT (remote) • microwave sounder -- Bjorn Lambrigsten/JPL • tropospheric chemistry -- Randy Kawa/GSFC • aerosols -- P.K. Bartia/GSFC • carbon monoxide -- Bill Heaps/GSFC • carbon monoxide -- Jack Kumer/LMATC • vegetation photosynthesis -- Forrest Hall/UMBC • coastal color -- Janet Campbell/UnH • solar coronagraph -- Joe Gurman/GSFC

  20. GOES-R Backup Slides • FYI

  21. GOES-EAST/WEST Coverage Challenges Regional Science

  22. GOES-R Atmospheric Instruments – NPOESS Quality • Advanced Baseline Imager • 16 channels (VIIRS-like, minus land, plus water vapor) • 5-minute full disk scan, 24/7 • 0.5/1.0/2.0 km resolution vis/nir/lwir • NIST-traceable calibration • 50 Mbps • Implementation awarded to ITT, for 4 • PDR in December 2005

  23. GOES-R Atmospheric Instruments – NPOESS Quality • Hyperspectral Environmental Suite • "Spectrum resolving" (AIRS/CRIS + SEAWIFS) • Mesoscale Sounder (4 km FOV, ±1 C/1 km, 1000^2 km in 5 minutes) - PRIME FUNCTION • DESCOPE: simpler spectrum • window + H2O + CO2 • Either longwave or shortwave thermal IR • DESCOPE: from thresholds to goals • Global Sounder (10 km FOV, ±1 C/1 km, hourly disk coverage) • Coastal Water color (0.3 km FOV, 3/day) • In Formulation by BAE, Ball, ITT • Spectrograph vs. FTIR playoff
