GOES[-R] Rebroadcast (GRB)
• Provides full resolution products from all instruments
– All data will be calibrated and navigated (“Level 1b”)
– Except … GLM will be higher level products (“Level 2+”)
• “Events,” “Groups,” and “Flashes”
• Replaces current GVAR service
– 31 Mbps vs. 2.1 Mbps
– DRO receive systems specified for same size antennas (G/T
of 15.2 dB/K), however with significant changes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
New center frequency 1690.0 MHz vs. 1685.7 MHz
High-level modulation (e.g. QPSK, OQPSK or 8-PSK, TBD) vs. BPSK
Dual polarization – requiring feed changes and dual receiver chain
CCSDS packet formatting
Forward error detection coding (LDPC) to reduce required C/No.
DVB-S2 link characteristics and compatibility under consideration
– System specified for 2.5 dB margin

• LHCP to provide subset of imagery (ABI … 0.64,

channels);
• RHCP to provide remaining 9 ABI channels, plus

Emulated GVAR (eGVAR)
• As a contingency capability, and to give users
additional time to transition from GVAR to GRB,
eGVAR will provide GOES-R Imagery to Users capable
of receiving today’s GVAR data stream
– Will be broadcast through a GOES I/P Series Satellite
– The signal will have the GVAR characteristics:
• Same transmit frequency (1685.7 MHz) and power levels
• Same GVAR data rate (2.11 Mbps) and format
• Five Similar Imager channel wavelengths (Based on ABI channels
0.64, 4.9, 6.19, 11.2, 13.3 µm)
• Imagery will be mapped to GOES NOP temporal and spatial
resolution
• No Sounder data
• One full-earth disk every 30-minutes
– No Mesoscale data – No “Rapid Scan;” No “Super Rapid Scan”
14
Emulated GVAR (eGVAR) (Continued)
– Not an option for long-term use
– Will only be operational based on assessments of end
user readiness near the time for GOES-R operations:
• Presumes a spare satellite is available
• Users must not be lax in preparing for actual GOES-R
(i.e., GRB) readiness

HRIT/EMWIN
• Successor to individual Low Rate Image Transmission broadcast
(LRIT) and the Emergency Managers Weather Information
Network broadcast (EMWIN) combined onto one carrier.
• Frequency change from 1691.0 MHz/1692.7 MHz to 1694.7 MHz
• Higher data rate … 921 Kbps)
• Provides growth path for both Services to a combined 400 Kbps
– LRIT currently 128 Kbps
– EMWIN currently:
– 9.6 Kbps (GOES 11&12), 19.2 Kbps for GOES 13-15.
• Will utilize BPSK modulation w/ convolutional and Reed-Solomon
coding
– Same as LRIT, but higher data rate
– Allows maximum EIRP from satellite due to Power Spectral Density
restrictions
– EMWIN Users modulation type changes from uncoded FSK (GOES I-M)
and from coded OQPSK (GOES-NOP) to coded BPSK at much higher data
rate.
17
HRIT/EMWIN (Continued)
• Name change to High Rate Information Transmission
(HRIT) required by CGMS categorization of services
• Virtual Channel Data Units used to separate HRIT and
EMWIN data
– CCSCS Virtual channels as used in LRIT today
• Prototype “Software Defined Radio” developed and demonstrated:
– One hardware/software configuration can receive all current and
future EMWIN, LRIT and HIRT/EMWIN signals with NO hardware
changes or upgrades (GOES I-S compatible). No user transition
necessary.
– Technology demonstration to proves low cost, PC-based terminals
are possible for all data rates and modulation types
– Performance data, Hardware design and software design is
available on WWW.GOES-R .GOV
– Development performed for GOES-R Program by Aerospace Corp.
– Presentation and Demonstrations provided last night

GOES Data Collection System
GOES Data Collection System
•20
GOES Data Collection System
• GOES-DCS consists of two communication Services:
– Data Collection Platform Receive (DCPR)
– Data Collection Command (DCPC) … Previously “Interrogate” (DCPI)
• GOES-R will support the ongoing evolution toward
greater channel efficiency and system capacity
– Narrower DCPR channel assignments allowing both East and West
satellites to each support 200 simultaneous platform signals, with
a total system capacity of about 72,000 platforms
– A new DCPC service, based on CDMA techniques, currently in
prototype development. This user-funded development concept
will allow one command channel on each GOES NOP Series
satellite and two channels on each GOES-R Series satellite
• Direct Broadcast of DCPR to User systems having 15.0
G/T will continue to be supported, but ….
21
GOES Data Collection System
(Continued)
• Summary of Changes to GOES-DCS for GOES-R
Series:
– DCP uplink transmit power reduced, in accordance with
latest DCP Certification Specifications
– DCPR uplink frequencies will be unchanged
– DCPR Downlink frequencies will be shifted from 1694.51694.8 MHz to 1683.3-1683.6 MHz
• Will require change in channel demodulator frequency
– DCPI becomes DCPC:
• Will be compatible with on-going User-funded developments
compatible with current satellites
• Able to support a second DCPC channel
22
SARSAT
•23
SARSAT
• Signal characteristics of the SARSAT service will be slightly
modified for GOES-R:
– Up and down-link center frequencies remain the same
– GOES-R will transpond, rather than re-modulate, the up-link band
– Will require configuration changes to the LUT receiver
• To account for degraded Beacons, GOES-R will operate
with 32 dBm uplink power (versus 36 dBm for GOES-NOP)
– Provides improved capability to support beacons with weak
signals
– Transponder will also operate with a minimum of 10 uplink
beacons simultaneously
– Conforms to COSPAS/SARSAT Specification T001, Issue 3 Revision
8 dated Nov 2007
24
Other Changes of Potential Interest
• All raw instrument data will be transmitted to the
ground in X-Band vs. today’s S-Band
– X-band provides ‘spot beam’ geographical coverage vs.
hemispheric
– Processed to Level 1B and re-broadcast to users via the
GRB link
• Diagnostic telemetry will be available via a new
higher data rate telemetry link (32 Kbps)
– “CDA” telemetry downlink changes from 1694.0 MHz to
1696.3 MHz
• The Multi-use Data Link (MDL) is eliminated for
GOES-R Series
25
Summary
• System requirements, communications requirements, and the
Ground Segment architecture have been defined for the
entire system, including Direct Readout Services
• Detailed definition of communication link characteristics have
not yet been fully finalized and will be refined through the
Spacecraft and Ground Segment contract design processes …
However the GOES-R baseline is:
– GRB will replace all current forms of instrument data broadcast:
•
•
•
•
Full resolution
Geo-located
Calibrated
In essentially real-time
– EMWIN and LRIT will be combined and enhanced to a higher data rate
on a new downlink frequency – HRIT/EMWIN
– DCS will remain largely the same, however DCPR downlink in L-Band
will have a frequency shift
– SARSAT will be essentially unchanged
26
Summary (Continued)
• Documentation for the Direct Readout User
community will be produced by the GOES-R Ground
System contractor as CDRLs.
– Of particular note, the GS Contractor (Harris Corporation)
will be developing a Product User's Guide (PUG) that will
include a section on building a GRB receive system
