GOES DCS Transition. Kay Metcalf NOAA GOES DCS Program Manager April 9, 2013. DCPR Changes for GOES-R. On the GOES-N/O/P satellites the DCPR downlink band is 1694.3 – 1694.7 MHz The uplink Pilot at 407.85 MHz is translated to 1694.45 MHz in the existing downlink

DCPR Changes for GOES-R • On the GOES-N/O/P satellites the DCPR downlink band is 1694.3 – 1694.7 MHz • The uplink Pilot at 407.85 MHz is translated to 1694.45 MHz in the existing downlink • For the GOES-R series satellites the DCPR downlink band will be 1679.7 – 1680.1 MHz • The uplink Pilot at 407.85 MHz will be translated to 1679.85 MHz in the new downlink • No uplink frequencies will change from the GOES-N to GOES-R satellites – only the downlinks • All other changes occur in transmitters or ground system
Other Transitions • All other transitions are transmitter and ground system based • High Data Rate Transition • Version 2 Transmitters • DADDS Implementation GOES DCS Transition
High Data Rate (HDR) • Phase out all 100 bit per second transmitters • Final date May 31, 2013 • Announced May 1, 2003 • 10 year transition • 721 100 bps transmitters active from app. 9000 • 22,983 300 and 1200 bps transmitters active WE ARE ALMOST FINISHED!!! GOES DCS Transition
Version II (CS2) Narrow Band Transition • New transmitters use ½ the bandwidth • Most existing manufacturers certified at v.2 • Ground system configured to accept data on existing channels in either mode (CS1 or CS2) • Once existing channels are populated new channels can be created between them • Existing channels will retain same number • New channels will add 300 • Only CS2 transmitters can be purchased GOES DCS Transition
DADDS TRANSITION • DCS Administration and Data Distribution System • Manages user and platform information • Channel and time assignments • User contact information • User logins • Data monitoring and download • Dissemination to other circuits • NWSTG • DOMSAT • LRIT (in the future) • Web-based • Self-Registering • 2 redundant sites, 4 redundant systems GOES DCS Transition
DADDS Updates • What’s Coming • System Use Agreement Processing and Tracking System (GOES, Argos and DRO) • Bulk Download (Network List?) • Still Need Tables Populated: PDT, Contact Information, Group Contacts • Access at: • https://dcs1.noaa.gov • https://dcs2.noaa.gov • https://dcs3.noaa.gov • https://dcs4.noaa.gov GOES DCS Transition
