NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE SYSTEM
NPOESS
NPOESS is required to provide an OPERATIONAL remote sensing
capability to acquire and receive in real-time at field terminals, and
to acquire, store and disseminate to processing centers, GLOBAL
and regional environmental imagery and specialized
METEOROLOGICAL, CLIMATIC, TERRESTRIAL, OCEANOGRAPHIC
and SOLAR-GEOPHYSICAL and other data in support of public
safety, commerce, environmental monitoring and research.
NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE SYSTEM
National Importance
- Timely, accurate, and cost-effective public
warnings and forecasts of severe weather
events, reduce the potential loss of
human life and property and advance the
national economy
- Support of general aviation, agriculture,
and maritime communities aimed at
increasing U.S. productivity
- Commitment to support long-term data
continuity for environmental monitoring
and Global Change assessment
NPOESS Goal: Improve the Nation’s Space-Based, Remote
Sensing Capabilities for Environmental Monitoring
NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE SYSTEM
Establishing NPOESS
• National Space Council Study - 1992
• National Performance Review (NPR) - September 1993
-Identified Need for Coordinated Effort
• OSTP Convergence Implementation Plan submitted to
Congress - May 1994
• Presidential Decision Directive/NSTC-2 - May 1994
-Directed Convergence of National Assets
• Tri-agency Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) - May 1995
- Established Roles and Responsibilities of
Department of Defense, Department of
Commerce, and NASA
• EUMETSAT/NOAA Initial Joint Polar
Agreement - November 1998
- Brought in International Community

IORD Content Example
Sea Surface Temperature (SST)
• Sea Surface Temperature
is defined as a highly
precise measurement of
the temperature of the
surface layer (upper 1
meter) of ocean water.
It has two major
applications: 1) sea
surface phenomenology,
and 2) use in infrared
cloud/no cloud decision
for processed cloud data.
The accompanying
requirements apply only
under clear conditions
(unless specified
otherwise).

NPOESS Benefits the Nation
• Accurate forecasts are critical to the protection of life, safety, and
property
• NPOESS data will improve forecasts and warnings
• Improved forecasts will
- Reduce loss of life and property
- benefit US industry through increased productivity
• NPOESS will maintain long-term data continuity for climate
monitoring and assessment
NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE SYSTEM
Additional COnsiderations
• Each satellite will produce approximately 2 TB of data per day
- RDRs – Raw Data Records
- SDRs – Sensor Data Records – calibrated geolocated
- EDRs – Environmental Data Records – products
• NPP will not have direct broadcast
• NPOESS will have direct broadcast, but receiving station costs will make
electronic data transfers attractive.
• Distribution of NPP and NPOESS data to the Asia Pacific region could be a
major new EO-WG objective.
• If there is interest in this the requirement for NPP and NPOESS data
needs to be expressed to the national representatives of the GEO.
