Abstract

The NOAA-NASA jointly-acquired Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) will replace the afternoon orbit component and ground processing system of the current NOAA Polarorbiting Operational Environmental Satellites (POES). The ground system, known as the ‘Common Ground System (CGS)’, and developed by Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS), provides command, control, and communications (C3) and data processing and product delivery. The CGS currently flies the Suomi NPP satellite and routes mission data to U.S. ground facilities, where it processes those data into mission products and provides them to NOAA weather centrals. The JPSS CGS currently provides data processing for Suomi NPP, generating multiple terabytes per day across over two dozen environmental data products -that workload will be multiplied by two when the JPSS-1 satellite is launched. This presentation will show how the CGS goes well beyond mission management and data processing for the Suomi NPP and JPSS missions to also provide data routing support to operational centers and missions across the globe.
