  1. GOES Program Review Satellite Direct Readout Conference for the Americas Miami, Florida December 9, 2002 Gerald Dittberner Advanced Systems Planning

  2. OUTLINE • Program Mission • Program Status • Launch Planning • GOES-R Series

  3. Operational Spacecraft On-Orbit Storage GOES MISSION • GOES satisfies National Weather Service (NWS) requirements for 24 hour observation of weather and Earth’s environment to support storm-scale weather forecasting by forecasters and numerical models • To meet requirements, GOES continuously maintains operational satellites at two locations (75 degrees West and 135 degrees West), with and on-orbit spare ready in case of failure • Data are provided to users routinely from the Imager every 15 minutes and • from the Sounder every hour throughout the day from each satellite. More rapid • repetition is used when needed for severe weather events.

  4. GOES On-Orbit Status • GOES-8 continues to function as the GOES-East operational satellite • Functioning on several redundant systems • Depletes all fuel reserves by April 2003 • Has exceeded operational life by 3 + years • GOES-9 removed from operational service in July 1998 • Being made available to the Japanese to provide emergency coverage, if necessary • GOES-10 has functioned as the GOES-West operational satellite for the last 41/2 years • Difficult to quantify remaining mission life due to Solar Array anomaly • GOES -11 and GOES –12 are in on-orbit storage mode, ready to replace either GOES-East or West • Transition plan being developed to move GOES-12 to GOES-East

  5. GOES-N Series Development/Production Status • GOES-N Series Spacecraft (Boeing Satellite Systems (BSS), Inc.) • Government provided instruments delivered to Spacecraft contractor and successfully integrated on GOES-N Spacecraft • GOES-N Spacecraft system level testing underway • GOES-N Series Spacecraft Support Ground System (SSGS) delivered to NOAA’s SOCC • Successfully completed two command/TLM/Data End-to-End testing between Spacecraft and NOAA’s SOCC • GOES-N Spacecraft on schedule to support January 2004 launch readiness • The GOES-O Bus and Payload Modules Completed

  6. GOES-N - Anechoic Chamber

  7. GOES-N Series Instruments Status • GOES-N Series Imagers and Sounders (ITT) • The GOES-N (S/N08) Imager and Sounder mechanically/electrically integrated onto the GOES-N bus • The GOES-O (S/N09) Imager and Sounder mechanically integrated on to the GOES-O bus • GOES-P (S/N10) Imager and Sounder are in temporary storage at ITT. • Preliminary integration of S/N 11 Imager and Sounder started, leading to the ship dates of June 14, 2003 for the Imager and July 31, 2003 for the Sounder.

  8. GOES-N Spacecraft Instrument Testing • Spacecraft in the Z over west panel down configuration • Sounder radiant cooler door open in preparation for ITT to perform the door hinge friction test • Picture taken 3/26/02

  9. GOES-N Series Instruments Status(Continued) • NOAA GOES-N Series FM1 and FM2 Solar X-Ray Imagers (SXI) • The FM1 SXI delivered to BSS November 2001 • Successfully integrated on GOES-N • The FM2 SXI delivered to BSS September 2002 • Successfully integrated on GOES-O for ground testing, but may not fly on GOES-O • GOES-N Series Space Environment Monitor (SEM) • GOES-N SEM - Successfully delivered and integrated on GOES-N • Delivery of the GOES-O SEM - December 2002 (Lockheed Martin)

  10. GOES Launch Planning

  11. GOES-R Series • GOES-R series will be designed to satisfy User’s needs in the 2012 to 2025 time frame • Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) • Advanced Imaging • Hyperspectral Environmental Suite (HES) • Advanced Sounding and Imaging • SXI • Solar imaging • SEM • Space environment monitoring • Other Advanced Instruments • GOES Auxiliary Services • DCS, LRIT, EMWIN, SARSAT
