Polar Constellation Special SessionPOES Spacecraft Status Presented by: Carl Gliniak NESDIS/OSPO Acting POES Engineering Team Lead
Constellation Overview and Status Agenda • Overall Status of SNPP and NOAA-19 • Constellation Configurations • Spacecraft Status of SNPP • Spacecraft Status of NOAA-19 • Summary of NOAA-16 Decommissioning Efforts
NOAA-19 Status (1 of 2) • Attitude Control • Nominal • Electrical Power/Thermal • Shunt Degradation began December 2013 • Unable to nominally shunt excess amount of solar array current • Shunt Drive voltage spiking • Effect on bus voltage is minimal • COMM/Data Handling • STX-3 is unstable • Flight S/W & Command and Control • Nominal
NOAA-19 Status (2 of 2) • Instruments • HIRS Filter Wheel (FW) Motor surges began 2013 • 10 July 2013 - FW Motor Mode swapped from normal to high • Increased the FW current nominal value • All radiometrics to shift significantly • Current was stable • End of 2013 - Current surges began and FW sync was being lost at each occurrance • 28 Jan 2014 (14/28) - FW current surges are consistently happening every 5- 10 days lasting for a few hours • all Channel radiometric patterns to shift • Channel 14's radiometrics to saturate
NOAA-16 Decommissioning • On June 6/JDay157/2014, NOAA-16 experienced a critical spacecraft bus anomaly • Downlink telemetryand Command Verification has been unreliable • As of 12:30z June 7/Jday-158/2014, it is believed that NOAA-16 has entered a tumble based on intermittent RF reception from the spacecraft’s VHF transmitter (no modulation/data, only carrier). • On Monday, June 9/Jday-160/2014, NOAA issued a command sequence to perform emergency decommission of NOAA-16. • Command verification is not available due to the anomaly. • Engineers will repeat the decommission sequence 3x/day for 30 days. • Ground Stations will monitor for any communication from NOAA-16 for 30 days.

Cautionary Watch Items on Green Subsystemsas of 26 June 2014 Anything for SNPP?
Wallops Reduced Staffing • Wallops CDA is reducing the staffing supporting POES • This is being done through attrition • Previous Staffing Level was 3 ppl/shift totaling 12 • Current level is 2 ppl/shift – only 6 full-time ppl remaining • Plan • 1 person per shift will be POES qualified but stationed in the GOES room who can address issues as time permits • LEO-T to be placed in the GOES room to monitor POES antennae
Fairbanks As A Backup Site For NPP Compared NPP Contact Times Against 14 Days of Actual Fairbanks Scheduled Passes In The Period There were 7 Passes That Would Have Been Deleted To Accommodate NPP Had The Use Been Un-planned Most Cases It Was METOP-B, NOAA-19 and LDCM In Conflict Another Scenario was JASON-02, NOAA-15 and NOAA-18 When Barrow Comes On Line JASON will not interfere with NPP or Any Other Spacecraft If the Usage Is Planned the Secondary Spacecraft Contacts Can be Shifted to Avoid Conflicts
Fairbanks Continued Depending on When Support is Needed Will Determine Conflicts Longest Conflict Period is METOP-B and NPP Which is 25.1 days NPP/NOAA-15 is 8.5 Days NPP/NOAA-18 and 19 is 6.5 days NPP/JASON02 is 4.3 Revs
Check Primary Instrument Comparison SNPP & NOAA-19
POES Shunt Degradation (1 of 2) • Shunt degradation is reflected by the slow response time, an anomaly primarily due to aging • Shunts are unable to nominally dissipate excess solar array current • Results in an increase in the frequency and size of spikes on the bus voltage • Management of the spacecraft load and solar array current is vital to maintaining operations • Offset the array to reduce the amount of current produced from the array • Adjust the battery charging concept to help the batteries provide a larger current draw from the spacecraft
POES Transmitters Configuration * Once the Decommissioning activities and confirmation is completed (~9 July 2014) NOAA-16 will no longer be support.
NOAA Beacon Selection BTX-1 137.35 MHz BTX-2 137.77 MHz * Once the Decommissioning activities and confirmation is completed (~9 July 2014) NOAA-16 will no longer be support.
Priorities for Data and Transfers * Once the Decommissioning activities and confirmation is completed (~9 July 2014) NOAA-16 will no longer be support.
