JPSS Ground Segment

● Command, Control, Communication Segment (C3S)– Includes MCC at NOAA/NSOF, Svalbard, McMurdo and Ka sites– Deployed for NPP, augmentation required for JPSS satellites– Capacity and flexibility to operate future DOD polar-orbiting satellites in

morning orbit(s)

● Interface Data Processing Segment (IDPS)– Includes all hardware and software to process and disseminate data from

satellites– Provides NPP and JPSS data and products to NOAA and DOD Centrals,

to NOAA’s Archives and to NASA’s SDS (for NPP)• Presently Deployed for NPP at NOAA and AF Centrals, augmentation will be

required for JPSS satellites

• Deployed at Navy Central(s) for JPSS satellites

● Field terminal – Direct Transmission– Develop prototype system (h/w & s/w) for deployment by agencies and

individual users

JPSS Operations and Sustainment

● At NSOF i.e. “NOAA Central”

– Operate NPP, JPSS, and DWSS satellites

– Operations transition from JPSS-led to NOAA-led at start of nominal operations

– Operate future DoD polar-orbiting metsats; deliver raw data to IDPS at DoD Centrals

– Operate and sustain C3S and IDPS for life of program

– Conduct initial and recurring Cal/Val

– Support all NOAA Field Terminal users and maintain the registration data base and key management center for all other users



JPSS Transition Approach

● Acquisition authority delegated to NASA GSFC for PM orbit and ground system– Governance model per NMI 7120.5– NASA becomes the Systems Integrator

● NPOESS PEO/IPO facilitates transition– To date, transition has been as transparent to ongoing work as practical

● Transferred work on Instruments/Ground System via GSFC letter contracts

● Standard contracts now in place for Ground, CrIS, OMPS, and Spacecraft– Remaining: VIIRS, ATMS, and long term 1394 support

● JPSS Program/Project Organizations defined and staffing is underway

● NPP Project will remain with the Earth Sciences Program at GSFC

● JPSS and NPP Organizations are being collocated in GSFC Building 40 (former Greentech IV Building) this week



Summary

● JPSS will be a critical element in maintaining NOAA/NASA climate knowledge continuity from the afternoon orbit

● JPSS will improve weather forecasting and knowledge of transient Earth events

● JPSS will provide time-critical weather information for DoD and other personnel

● On behalf of NOAA, GSFC leads a large team of industrial partners to make this happen

● JPSS will continue to maintain a close collaborative relationship with DoD both during the NPOESS transition and throughout the mission

● To lessen programmatic risk, JPSS-1 is baselined as a clone of NPP

● JPSS provides the ground segment for the DoD DWSS Mission as well as the JPSS satellites

● Although moving offsite to Building 40, JPSS is still a fully-GSFC organization
