10. Alternative Solutions Addressing Constraints Leveraging Partnerships Partnering with NASA, EUMETSAT, JMA, CMA to identify and sustain key observations required for observational use Established the NOAA/NASA Research to Operations Transition Team and Transition Working Group Gaining Efficiencies Streamlining and consolidating POES/GOES IT processing centers Strategically realigning data verification and validation functions within Satellite Services Program Baseline Assessment Analysis 2 of 3

11. Alternative Solutions Addressing Gaps ($+22.2M) Enterprise Information Security This program manages 5 out of 7 NOAA National Mission Critical Systems Meeting IT security demands and implementing IT security controls is mandatory ($+2.0M) Programmatic Realignment of Services Space Weather Product Processing Strategically realigning data verification and validation functions within Satellite Services ($-10.1M) 2.33% Decrease to Program Funding Eliminates all land product processing Reduced NWS forecast accuracy and lead time Reduced accuracy for climate forecasts Reduced capability for drought detection and assessment Program Baseline Assessment Analysis 3 of 3

13. All capabilities within the Satellite Services Program are interdependent and provide for an integrated system supporting the end-to-end ingesting, processing and distribution of environmental satellite data. This program is not executable without all the capabilities being fully operational due to the interdependencies.
