NESDIS Architecture Framework

1. To develop ground system capabilities to serve current and future geostationary and polar satellite missions through incremental upgrades and consolidation of functionality instead of large scale system replacement, the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) is developing a mission enterprise architecture framework to guide acquisition programs so they will develop systems that are flexible, evolvable, and can be integrated into the NESDIS end-to-end system. The mission enterprise is defined to include all components from the interface to the satellite to the interface to the user for products (e.g., satellites command and telemetry, data acquisition and sensor processing, science data processing, data delivery, and data archives). The GOES-R system requirements have been developed to be compatible with in-development NESDIS architectural concepts and ‘to be’ architectures; the goal is compliance with the NOAA enterprise architecture and the GEO-Integrated Data Environment.
