The NOAA Satellite Information Services (NOAASIS)
The NOAASIS provides information about the NOAA-operated satellites
used by the direct readout community throughout the world who can
receive free satellite data through their own satellite receiver.
NPOESS Data Exploitation (NDE)
The NPOESS Data Exploitation (NDE) project provides the only link between
the civilian community of satellite data users and the NPOESS satellites
and ground systems.
GOES Receive Antenna
System
This project involves providing four (4) Azimuth/Elevation (Az/El)
remotely controllable paraboloidal receive antenna systems for the
new NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF). Each antenna system
consist of the paraboloidal antenna; a dual band - L/X feed sub-system;
dual redundant LNA paths for each feed; an antenna local, operations
area remote monitor/control, and external PC interface; interconnecting
cabling between the roof antenna and an operation control area, dual
redundant L-Band Downconverters, 70 MHz Intermediate Frequency (IF)
Distribution amplifiers, and an IN-SNEC CORTEX NT L-Band receiver.
The project includes a remote Control, Monitor, and Test sub-system
(CMTs) that, via Personnel Computer (PC) NIC interface, will allow
remote the position control, to view the status of, or test any of
the four antenna systems.
Initial Joint Polar System - CDA/SOCC Upgrade (IJPS-CSU)
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental
Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) has entered into
an agreement with the European Organization for the Exploitation of
Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) for participation in the Initial
Joint Polar System (IJPS) program. In the IJPS Agreement, NOAA and
EUMETSAT agree to procure and operate their Polar-orbiting satellites
in a manner beneficial to both parties and the world's meteorological
community. This joint system will consist of two fully coordinated
independent polar satellite systems, the NOAA Polar-orbiting Operational
Environmental Satellite (POES) system and the EUMETSAT Meterological
Operational Satellite (Metop). To support the IJPS program, NESDIS
requires design, development, and engineering technical support to
upgrade and augment the current NESDIS POES ground system at the Satellite
Operations Control Center (SOCC) at Suitland, Maryland and Command
and Data Acquisition (CDA) Stations at Fairbanks, Alaska and Wallops,
Virginia.
