“NOAA’s Current and Future Space-Based Observing System Enterprise”

To meet the challenges of a complex and changing planet, NOAA is evolving its observing system enterprise, employing the latest in space and information technologies and strengthening our partnerships to provide the observations, products, and information that society needs in this changing world. Over the past three years, NOAA has brought into operational use its newest geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites, the GOES-R and JPSS series. NOAA plans to launch two additional GOES-R series and three additional JPSS series satellites between 2021 and 2031. NOAA’s other operational capabilities are the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) positioned at the Lagrange 1 Point, and the Jason-2 and -3 radar altimetry missions. In addition, NOAA is engaged is partnerships to secure radio occultation measurements and is committed to ensure continuity of space weather data through the new Space Weather Follow On mission. NOAA’s observing capabilities contribute the global constellation of Earth Observing satellites, while data from non-NOAA systems are crucial for ensuring data continuity for NOAA’s mission. To this aim, NOAA is engaged in a number of international partnerships, including those with agencies in the Asia - Oceania region. This presentation will outline how recent satellite launches, strategic partnerships, new ground systems and future constellations will allow NOAA to meet the evolving needs of its user community.
