  6. Different mechanisms to ensure the coordinated and protected use of the spectrum for MetSat - Regulations • ITU-Radio Regulations: • Frequency Band Allocations to Space Radiocommunication Services such as MetSat, Earth Exploration Satellite and Space Operation • Limitations in the RR to facilitate sharing with other services • Satellite Notification Procedure (in case of GSO with coordination with concerned administrations; for NGSO there is no ITU coordination procedure !!!) • ITU-R Recommendations: • Definition of sharing, performance and interference criteria of the science services in the framework of ITU-R Study Group 7 • Determination of methods for sharing with the other allocated radio services

  7. Different mechanisms to ensure the coordinated and protected use of the spectrum for MetSat – Other Fora • Space Frequency Coordination Group (SFCG): • Early coordination of frequency use for planned satellite systems • Agreements of principles on how to use the available spectrum for MetSat, Earth Exploration Satellite and Space operation Service • WMO and its Steering Group on Radio Frequency Coordination: • Coordination between WMO Members for the use of frequency bands allocated to meteorological activities in the framework of the World Weather Watch (WWW) and their sharing with other radio communication services • Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS): • Not particularly dealing with frequency use, CGMS provides a forum for an early coordination of future MetSat systems in all aspects of mission planning, e.g. data formats, mutual cooperation and data/product exchange

  8. Space Frequency Coordination Group (SFCG) • Mission Statement: SFCG is the pre-eminent radio-frequency collegiate of Space Agencies and related national and international organizations through which global space systems spectrum resources are judiciously husbanded for the benefit of humanity. • Objective: The SFCG was established in order to provide a less formal and more flexible environment, as compared to the official organs of the ITU for the solution of frequency management problems encountered by member space agencies. • Charter: SFCG provides a forum for multilateral discussion and coordination of spectrum matters of mutual interest concerning space radiocommunication services, such as Space Research, Space operations, Earth exploration satellite and the Meteorological satellite service.

  9. What does SFCG do to make best use of the limited spectrum available for MetSat, EESS and SO? Examples: • RES A12-1R2: Establishment of Procedures for Inter-agency Frequency Coordination • SFCG Satellite Database • REC 12-4R3: Methods for Reduction of Potential Interference between Systems in the Space Science Service in Densely Occupied Bands • RES 19-7R2: Use of the 7750-7850 MHz Band by Non-GSO MetSat • REC 4-3R3: Utilization of 2 GHz Band by Space Operation • REC 11-1R3: Use of the Band 1670 - 1710 MHz for MetSat

  10. Inter-Agency Frequency Coordinationin the Framework of SFCG (1) • Although the RR satellite notification procedure provides a good mechanism to coordinate (at least for GSO) future satellite systems with the concerned ITU member administrations, it does not always provide the desired efficiency and flexibility to facilitate coordination for the planned frequency spectrum use for MetSat, EESS and SO. • Specially in the early phase of the RR satellite notification procedure, the advanced publication, this ITU-R process does not provide sufficient transparency of the planned frequency use. • The RR satellite notification procedure does not foresee coordination for NGSO systems.

  11. Inter-Agency Frequency Coordinationin the Framework of SFCG (2) • To complement the RR satellite notification procedure of the ITU-R, an inter-agency frequency coordination procedure was established in the framework of SFCG (RES A12-1R2). • This inter-agency frequency coordination motivates SFCG members, already at the very early stages of a mission design, to coordinate the planned frequency use with concerned SFCG members with the aim to minimize the potential radio spectrum interference to existing and planned satellite systems. • SFCG member agencies involved in such a coordination process can utilize the SFCG satellite database and provide update information on existing and planned satellite systems.

  12. Use of the Frequency Band 1675‑1710 MHz as agreed by the MetSat Operators in SFCG SFCG Recommendation 11‑1R3 recommends: • that the band 1675‑1690 MHz be used for future main Earth stations at relatively few fixed locations for reception of raw image data and data collection from geostationary meteorological satellites; • that the band 1683-1690 MHz also be used for user stations for data dissemination (GVAR and S-VISSR) from geostationary meteorological satellites; • that the band 1690‑1698 MHz be used for direct read‑out services, data collection platform observations and data dissemination from geostationary meteorological satellites to user stations; • that the band 1698‑1710 MHz be used for direct read‑out and pre-recorded image data transmissions from non‑geostationary meteorological satellites.

  13. Use of the Frequency Band 7750-7850 MHz by NGSO MetSat systems as agreed by SFCG members SFCG Resolution 19‑7R2 resolves: • that space agencies planning and operating MetSats develop procedures for efficient use of the 7750-7850 MHz band that allows interference-free reception of vital meteorological and environmental data; • that direct readout transmissions be turned-off during passes of CDA stations when in conflict with downlinks of stored mission data (data dump transmissions); • Invites members agencies when planning MetSat transmissions in this band to develop among themselves operating schemes that permit interference-free reception of data, including the need to interrupt direct broadcast transmissions within the reception area of CDA stations (stored data dumps) in case of conflict.
