Abstract
The NOAA-NASA jointly-acquired Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) will replace and upgrade the current U.S. civilian polar-orbiting environmental satellite system providing the afternoon orbit and ground system components of the restructured NPOESS program. The ground system, known as the ‘Common Ground System (CGS)’ consists of a Command, Control, and Communications Segment (C3S) and an Interface Data Processing Segment (IDPS) both developed by Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems (IIS). The C3S currently flies the Suomi NPP satellite and routes mission data to U.S. ground facilities. The IDPS processes Suomi NPP data provided to US weather centrals. The CGS will expand to accommodate the JPSS mission and a number or other related environmental satellite missions. This presentation will review the JPSS and CGS concept of operations, architecture, and key specifications and parameters as well as the CGS C3S and IDPS architectures, ground components, facilities, and present and future supported missions.
