Jason-2 Operations As operational satellite agencies, NOAA and EUMETSAT will jointly conduct the Operational Phases of the OSTM. The NOAA Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC) will be the primary mission operations center. The NOAA Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) stations at Wallops, Virginia and Fairbanks, Alaska will serve as the NOAA ground stations, while the command station at Usingen Germany (controlled remotely by SOCC) will serve as the EUMETSAT ground station. NOAA and EUMETSAT will store the raw mission data at their respective ground stations, generate near real time operational products, and access these to one another, to operational users, and to CNES. CNES will be responsible for generating off-line products. All off-line products will be provided to NOAA. NOAA will provide data archival and distribution services for the OSTM raw mission data, the near real time operational products, and the off-line products. OSTM System Overview
