System Control Review for the CITRB National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Ground System Jim Valenti Ground Systems Division Chief October 31, 2007
Agenda • • Introduction Basis for Investment Project Management Lessons Learned Risk Management IT Security Architectural Compliance Administrative/Departmental Goals and Initiatives 1
Introduction • This presentation addresses the Ground System component of the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) • The NPOESS Ground System – provides satellite command control for the NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) and the first two NPOESS satellites – provides for the acquisition and reception of environmental data from NPP and NPOESS satellite instruments – processes and displays NPP and NPOESS satellite health and safety information – processes information from NPP and NPOESS satellite instruments – generates environmental products and distributes them to central processing centers (e. g. NPOESS Data Exploitation (NDE)/Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC), Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA)) – is NOT the cause of NPOESS cost growth and schedule delays 2
Introduction • Polar-orbiting Satellites – Provide observations supporting NOAA’s mission to understand predict the environment – Primarily benefit Weather & Water but support all 4 NOAA Goals – Support NOAA’s Annual Guidance Memorandum (AGM) priorities through interaction with other agencies, data stewardship, and providing data vital to an Integrated Earth Observation System • Polar Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) has been NOAA’s polar-orbiting satellite system for past 40 years – Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) has been the USAF’s • NPOESS is the replacement system for POES/DMSP 3

Introduction • In May 1994, Presidential Decision Directive NSTC-2 converged the existing polar systems from the Department of Commerce (DOC) and Department of Defense (Do. D) to create NPOESS • NPOESS is a polar satellite system used to monitor global environmental conditions and collect and disseminate data related to: weather, atmosphere, oceans, land near-space environment • The NPOESS program is managed by the tri-agency Integrated Program Office (IPO), employing personnel from DOC, Do. D and NASA • NPOESS uses a single Do. D contract for a turn-key system comprised of space systems, ground systems, and operations • NPOESS Ground System maintains health and safety of NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) and NPOESS satellites and generates environmental products 5

Introduction NOAA contributes 50% of the funding for the NPOESS Ground System 12
Basis for Investment • • • The NPOESS Ground System provides the infrastructure necessary to support 24 x 7 command control of the NPP and NPOESS satellites; the collection of the environmental data observed by NPP and NPOESS; and distribution of environmental data records to NOAA and the US military. NPOESS, when operational, will collect environmental data at rate over 30 times that of current systems and it will distribute it in 1/6 the time of current systems Current NOAA and USAF ground systems are incapable of supporting NPOESS data volumes and latency 13
Basis for Investment • NPP/NPOESS performance improvements allow for discrimination of tough weather problems POES: Smoke and Fires Expected NPP/NPOESS: Smoke and Fires (Image from NASA’s MODIS sensor) 14
Basis for Investment POES NPOESS Primary Instrument Channels 5 22 Primary Instrument Resolution 900 m 400 m Total Instrument Sampling Rate 0. 6654 Mbps 20 Mbps (30 x) Stored Mission Data Downlink Rate 2. 66 Mbps 150 Mbps Downlink Frequencies L-, S-Bands, VHF L-, S-, X-, Ka.

Lessons Learned • Understand ramifications of contractor teaming arrangements as established by the acquisition strategy – Industry leaders may be locked out • Employ a rigorous test program to drive down risk – Feed results into future work (e. g. IDPS integration) – Seek out risk-reduction activities (e. g. Coriolis operations) • Understand the transition from source-selection to contract execution – NPOESS Ground Systems had adequate and appropriate program office staffing in place for this 20
Risk Management • Risk management plans are used to manage the development of the NPOESS Ground System • Plans detail processes for risk identification, analysis, monitoring, and mitigation – Risk lists and matrices are maintained for both Command & Control and Data Processing Systems – Risks reviewed monthly by the NPOESS Risk Management Board • Risks are current as of the September 2007 Program Management Review 21
