The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) invites community review and comments on their Satellite Observing System Architecture Study draft report.
In planning for the future operational environmental satellite system to follow the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite System - R Series and the Joint Polar Satellite System, NOAA has conducted a study of the NOAA Satellite Observing System Architecture. The development of a future system presents an opportunity to design a modern architecture by broadly examining instruments, services, platforms, and orbits, driven by user needs, new technology, and exploiting emerging space business models.
In particular, NOAA would like comments on the following areas:
- Whether NOAA considered a sufficiently broad range of alternatives;
- Whether the opportunities that the analysis identified as deserving of consideration are consistent with knowledge of the state of the space enterprise;
- Whether there are outcomes or options that the community recommends for further analysis;
- Suggestions for engagement with industry, including innovative capability development approaches, partnership opportunities, and business models that may inform NOAA's path forward; and
- Suggestions for engagement with the academic and research community and other stakeholders to ensure NOAA makes the best use of the outputs of this study.
