CGMS GoalsExchange of technical information on operational meteorological satellite systems and research & development missions.Harmonize mission parameters such as orbits, sensors, data formats and downlink frequencies (including optimization of data dissemination networks) Encourage complementarity, compatibility and possible mutual back-up in the event of system failure through:

o cooperative mission planning,o compatible meteorological data products and services

SS--NPP StatusNPP Status

Successful commissioning, March 2012 Observatory and Ground systems functioning nominally All Instruments in science mode Instruments are producing (beyond) Beta quality data products, which is minimally

validated

o Data available to users to verify formats and parameters and public release from CLASS permitted

9

o Calibration and validation continues during this interim operations period

Operationalization of S-NPP, transitioning operations to NOAA, planned to occur 9-15 months post-launch.

First operational use of data from S-NPP occurred in June 2012

o ATMS data is being assimilated into Numerical Weather Prediction models by NOAAs National Weather Service

JPSS StatusJPSS Status

All the major segments for JPSS-1 are under contract, Ground, Spacecraft and the OMPS, CrIS, VIIRS and ATMS

All JPSS-1 segments are on track to support a Dec 2016 launch

CERES has completed environmental testing. The final acceptance review is TBD this fall after calibration anomaly seen in system test is mitigated

TSIS is waiting to start system test pending determination of launch environment - TSIS should be completed in 2013

The CrIS, ATMS, VIIRS and OMPS sensors are scheduled to ship in 2014. The JPSS-1 spacecraft is the critical path. Sensor integration on to the spacecraft is scheduled for December 2014

The JPSS-1 System Requirement Reviews (SRR) for the Flight and Program have been completed; Ground SRR will be held August 2012
