NESDIS Re-Organization
Background
NESDIS is undergoing a reorganization to better align competencies and functions (e.g., acquisition, operations, archive, research)
Part of NESDIS’s reorganization is to examine the Satellite Services Program* comprised of OSDPD, OSO and STAR
Guiding Principles
Assume the overall NESDIS mission remains unchanged
Take a customer-centric approach to the reorganization
Clearly align responsibility/accountability with organizational functions
Reorganize along Operations and Research functions
Improve accountability
Single chain for delivering operational products and services
* While the Satellite Services Program captures the majority of the functions of OSDPD, OSO and STAR there are some activities in other NOAA programs (e.g., Marine Transportation Systems and Emergency Response Program)
NESDIS Re-Organization (cont 2)
Maximize integration and efficiency
Structure organization to increase efficiency to meet new requirements and improve management structure
Be organizationally prepared for new satellite systems
Benefits of New Organization
One Director held accountable for end-to-end data acquisition and delivery of products
Streamlines Satellite Services Program
Allows for flexibility in resource allocation
Allows NESDIS to better plan for, and meet future requirements for new space and ground segments
Consolidated administrative services
NEISDIS Re-Organization (cont 3)
Consolidated 24x7 operations and support to the operation
More efficient management structure
Preserves and strengthens total operations team
Provides environment to enhance end to end system knowledge
Goal: To create a comprehensive operations and research organization

Failure Beyond Lifetime
Action Taken Impacts
1. Energetic Particles Sensor (EPS) channels noisy
• User has adjusted forecasting procedures
•Degraded space environment data
2. No fuel remaining for inclination control maneuver
•Ground system modification to mitigate image motion at slightly inclined orbit
•Spacecraft can not maintain precision orbit•Ground fix allows extended operational life
3. Solar array forward mode failed
• Spacecraft flown inverted to allow solar panels to rotate in opposite direction
• No user impacts
4. Data Collection System (DCS) Platform Integrator failed
• Switched to redundant “b” side • No user impacts

• Using GOES-10 spacecraft to receive solar x-ray data
• No user impacts
6. Reduced battery 1 capacity
• SAR, SEM, and DCS payloads turned off during eclipse periods to preserve battery capability
• Temporary interruption of GOES-11 SAR, SEM and DCS payloads during eclipse periods

GOES/POES Consolidation
• All operational processing from the Satellite Environmental Processing System (SATEPS) computers located in the World Weather Building (WWB), in Camp Springs, MD has been transferred to the Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) located in the new NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) building in Suitland, Md.
• This is the final phase in the consolidation of the GOES and Polar processing into one computer processing center (ESPC) providing a truly integrated processing environment which will ultimately result in cost savings.
• The new systems in NSOF are now operational and user access has been switched to the new machines.
• Any remaining hardware at the WWB will be decommissioned and surplused.
Products
• Total Ozone Analysis from SBUV and TOVS (TOAST)– Global Coverage– Combines both:
• ATOVS upper tropospheric/lower stratospheric ozone
• SBUV mid-to-upper stratospheric ozone to make a daily total ozone map with full global coverage.
