GOES-R Overview

A collaborative

development and

acquisition

Flight Project -

led by

NASA

Ground

Segment

Project - led by NOAA

Scheduled for

launch in 2015

Six advanced instruments

New and improved capabilities for

decreased

lead times for

severe weather warnings

better storm tracking capabilities

solar, space weather, and climate analysesadvanced products for aviation, transportation, commerce

Extending the continuity of NOAA’s 40-year geostationary mission, GOES-R will be the next weather sentinel for

monitoring threatening weather, and providing data for forecasting and environmental analyses

Satellite Driving Requirements

Provide

precision, stable space platforms

at two operational geostationary orbital locations (75W and 135W) carrying the baseline instrument set

Operational Mission

-

First Launch 2015

:

Provide continuity and improvements over the current system with

spacecraft bus reliability of 0.81

after 10 years of on-orbit operation preceded by 5 years ground storage & up to 5 years on-orbit storage

Spacecraft

On-Orbit Life of 15 years

with orbit East-West and North-South position maintained to within +/-0.1 degree. Support

9 station location changes

Collect and transmit up to

140Mbps (coded) Instrument Payload data

from each location continuously.

C

ontinue

Rebroadcast function

at L-Band up to 31 Mbps utilizing dual polarization

Provide

continuing and new services

each

Notable Performance Elements

Operates through daily station-keeping and momentum adjust maneuvers

Low risk station-keeping operations

Increased instrument availability

Decreased propellant required due to high efficiency thruster

Yaw flip improves ABI radiometric response

Outage twice per year

Total time of noncompliance for instrument interface requirements <120 min per year

Vibration Isolation for optical bench

Animation shows the vibration-isolation impact

ABI

and GLM are mounted

on stiff

optical bench

Dynamics are tunable to optimize system performance

Couple instrument motion to IMU and star trackers with low thermal distortion

High-accuracy attitude determination system on the instrument optical bench

High accuracy star trackers

High-bandwidth, low-latency and low-noise IMU for effective motion compensation

ABI & GLM Decoupled from Bus
