4. NPP MISSION OVERVIEW 5-year mission; 7-year goal
2,270 kg to 805 km 10:30 equator crossing (13:30 proposed)
2,181 W orbit average; 2,365 W peak
Pointing:
Control to +/-135.7 urad (28 as)
Knowledge to +/-35 urad (7.2 as)
Jitter < 14.5 urad/dt (3as/dt)
Communication:
Dedicated ground station at Svalbard
S-Band Commands and Housekeeping
X-Band Science
Continuous X-Band Science downlink worldwide
Compatible with TDRSS and NASA sites (command and housekeeping)
MIL-STD-1553 and IEEE-1394 data busses
Launch from VAFB; Delta II
5. NPP MISSION OVERVIEW Survived Nunn-McCurdy
EVERYONE smarter, chastened, committed
NPP mostly intact, lost OMPS Limb Sensor
IPO restructured
NGST restructured
NPOESS payload redefined (see next briefing)
6. PROGRESS! Spacecraft built and qualified
Successful interface tests with C3S, White Sands, Svalbard
ATMS
EDU integrated and tested with the spacecraft
FU1 accepted and delivered (in-place); ready for Satellite I&T
CrIS
EDU No.3 integrated and tested with the spacecraft
FM in final environmental qual; expected early ‘07
