17. JPSS Transition Approach • Acquisition authority delegated to NASA GSFC for PM orbit and ground system • Governance model per NMI 7120.5 • NASA becomes the Systems Integrator • NPOESS PEO/IPO facilitates transition • To date, transition has been as transparent to ongoing work as practical • Transferred work on Instruments/Ground System via GSFC letter contracts • Standard contracts now in place for Ground, CrIS, OMPS, and Spacecraft • Remaining: VIIRS, ATMS, and long term 1394 support • JPSS Program/Project Organizations defined and staffing is underway • NPP Project will remain with the Earth Sciences Program at GSFC • JPSS and NPP Organizations are being collocated in GSFC Building 40 (former Greentech IV Building) this week

18. Summary • JPSS will be a critical element in maintaining NOAA/NASA climate knowledge continuity from the afternoon orbit • JPSS will improve weather forecasting and knowledge of transient Earth events • JPSS will provide time-critical weather information for DoD and other personnel • On behalf of NOAA, GSFC leads a large team of industrial partners to make this happen • JPSS will continue to maintain a close collaborative relationship with DoD both during the NPOESS transition and throughout the mission • To lessen programmatic risk, JPSS-1 is baselined as a clone of NPP • JPSS provides the ground segment for the DoD DWSS Mission as well as the JPSS satellites • Although moving offsite to Building 40, JPSS is still a fully-GSFC organization
