About this file
This document is a detailed Technical Specification (SPEC) for the Space Weather Geostationary (SW GEO) PHOtospheric Magnetograph Imager (PHOMI), a space instrument designed to produce high-resolution measurements of the solar photospheric magnetic field. The specification covers comprehensive technical requirements including performance specifications, environmental constraints, radiation hardness, contamination control, and verification methods for an instrument intended to fly on NOAA satellite missions, with potential orbits at either the Sun-Earth L1 point or in geosynchronous orbit.
Key technical parameters include producing magnetograph imagery with 2 arcsecond spatial resolution, 3 kilogauss measurement range, and 20% measurement accuracy, with a refresh rate of one image per hour. The instrument must meet rigorous environmental requirements, including surviving radiation environments, maintaining performance across temperature ranges from -25°C to +50°C, and operating with specific power, mass, and dimensional constraints. The specification is part of a NASA Goddard Space Flight Center project, with a planned draft solicitation release in late July 2025, anticipated contract award in September 2025, and a contract effective date in October 2025, targeting a nine-month initial phase with a small business size standard of $25.5 million.

3 CONTRACT DESCRIPTION
3.1 PHOMI Description
The PHOMI will be capable of producing line of sight (LOS) measurements of the photospheric magnetic field that meet the specifications in the requirements below. LOS magnetograph imagery provides important information about the magnetic field strength and polarity of the solar magnetic field, the complexity of active regions, the emergence of new flux, and the location where the magnetic field polarity switches sign. Continual high-resolution mapping of the solar photospheric magnetic field is required to accurately model the solar wind velocity, density, and magnetic polarity values that cause both minor to moderate geomagnetic storming and influence Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) arrival time.
4 FUNCTIONAL/PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
This section defines the functional and performance requirements for the SW GEO Series project
PHOMI.
The requirements in this Specification pertain to the PHOMI “system,” which may include all instrument hardware, software, and ground processing algorithms. The PHOMI vendor is not responsible for the operational ground system, but certain data products may require ground processing between data collection and data distribution; the vendor is responsible for defining, developing, and delivering the associated ground processing algorithms that will provide measurements within specifications. Specifications for each measurement can be found below.
4.1 PHOMI Performance Requirements
Magnetograph imagery and photospheric Doppler velocity field imagery measurement requirements.
4.1.1 Requirements for Photospheric Magnetograph Imagery
4.1.1.1 Scene Coverage
PHOMISPEC-001: The PHOMI shall capture photospheric magnetograph imagery with a sun-centered and solar north-aligned view.

4.1.1.4 Measurement Accuracy
PHOMISPEC-005: The PHOMI shall produce photospheric magnetograph imagery with a measurement accuracy of ±20%.
Note: Measurement accuracy is defined as the closeness of agreement between a measured quantity value and a true quantity value of a measurand (i.e., the quantity intended to be measured) (ISO-JCGM 200:2008), and is often limited by calibration errors.
4.1.1.5 Sensitivity
PHOMISPEC-006: The PHOMI shall produce photospheric magnetograph imagery with an image sensitivity of 10 G/pxl (TBR).
4.1.1.6 Zero Point Error
PHOMISPEC-007: The PHOMI shall produce photospheric magnetograph imagery with a zero point error of 0.1 G.
Rationale: The zero point error refers to the disk-averaged line-of-sight field zero point noise and drives the exposure duration accuracy requirement.
4.1.2 Requirements for Photospheric Doppler Velocity Field Imagery
4.1.2.1 Scene Coverage
PHOMISPEC-008: The PHOMI shall capture photospheric Doppler velocity field imagery with a sun-centered and solar north-aligned view.

Space Weather Observations Programs Division (SWOPD) requires that the sum of daily data gaps for in situ Magnetograph Imagery High Availability Product (HAP) be less than 5 min and any instrument’s pre-planned event has the potential to impact Magnetograph Imagery HAP acquisition. The expected cadence and duration of NWS-declared Critical Space Weather Days could last between 3 and 21 consecutive days.
PHOMISPEC-046: The PHOMI shall provide a 99% or greater probability of providing all of the instrument data during S4 class solar radiation storms or solar flare conditions including class X50, verifying through analysis using the “Worst Week” October 1989 model in CREME96 or equivalent.
Rationale: The CREME96 model includes the October 1989 solar particle event worst week model that conservatively bounds the single event effects environment in S4 and X50 solar events. It is expected that the probability of occurrence of outages as well as Bit Error Rates (BER) due to SEE will be used in the analysis that verifies this probability. Further definition of the worst week model can be found here:
