1 Introduction
1.1 Scope
This document defines the high level functional, and performance requirements for the core Spacecraft, located within the East, West, and Central longitudinal slots, for the next generation Geostationary Operational Environmental – Extended Observation series (GeoXO) of Satellites. NASA manages the design and acquisition of the Spacecraft for the NOAA customer in a similar paradigm as preceding GOES series of Spacecraft. Throughout this document, the term ‘Spacecraft’ refers to all Spacecraft.
The GeoXO East and GeoXO West Spacecraft will accommodate identical instrument payloads which will differ from the instrument payload on the GeoXO Central Spacecraft. The Spacecraft and Satellites may be referred to as “East,” ‘West,” and “Central” when distinction is necessary and “East/West” for both “East” and “West” without distinction.
1.2 GeoXO Mission Objectives
The GeoXO Primary Mission Objectives are:
a) To maintain GOES mission continuity and quality in environmental observations in the 2030 – 2050 timeframe.
b) To provide enhanced environmental data products.
c) To improve services and data provided to the customer.
d) To be responsive to technology infusion and to meet evolving customer needs.
1.3 Spacecraft Description (Common)
The GeoXO Satellite will be launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida.
The government is responsible for all ground networks, and communications required for performing the launch and orbit raising activities. All launch and orbit raising activities will be performed from the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD. Once geostationary orbit is achieved, all activities will be performed using the NOAA Command and Data Acquisition Station (CDAS) at Wallops Island, Virginia as the primary ground station, and a Consolidated Backup (CBU) Facility at Fairmont, West Virginia.
During the transition to the GeoXO Satellite series, the operational constellation may contain GOES R-U Satellites and incumbent Satellites that have not yet been de-orbited.
The Spacecraft will be commanded throughout their mission lifetime from the NOAA Satellite Operational Control Center (SOCC) located at NSOF with the ground station radio frequency (RF) interface located at the Wallops CDAS and the CBU. The Satellite health and safety telemetry streams are received by the CDAS and/or the CDU and ground relayed to the SOCC for processing and monitoring. Similarly, the payload instrument science data will be received by the CDAS and/or the CBU.
1.4 East /West Spacecraft Description
This section addresses the functional and performance specifications for the East/West Spacecraft. The primary function of the GeoXO East/West Spacecraft is to accommodate and support its science payload comprised of the following instruments:

⦁ GeoXO Imager (GXI)
⦁ GeoXO Ocean Color (OCX)
⦁ GeoXO Lightning Mapper (LMX)
An auxiliary function of the East/West Spacecraft is to accommodate and support the:
⦁ Data Collection Systems (DCS)
Note: In other documents the East/West Spacecraft and Satellites may be referred to as “GeoI” where the “I” references the Imager Instrument.
(CCR-X00148A)
1.5 Central Spacecraft Description
This section addresses the functional and performance specifications for the Central Spacecraft. The primary function of the GeoXO Central Spacecraft is to accommodate and support its science payload comprised of the following instruments:
⦁ GeoXO Sounder (GXS)
⦁ GeoXO Atmospheric Composition (ACX)
⦁ GeoXO Partner Payload
Note in other documents the Central Spacecraft and Satellites may be referred to as “GeoS” with “S” referencing the Sounder instrument.
1.6 Mission Phases
The GeoXO mission is divided into four phases as follows:
a) Pre-launch: The pre-launch phase provides for the design, fabrication, integration, and testing of each Spacecraft, Satellite integration and test, shipment to the launch site, and launch site activities. This phase also includes the development, installation, and testing of any associated ground equipment, software, and facilities required during all subsequent mission phases. This phase begins at Spacecraft contract award and continues until one day before launch (L-1 day).
b) Launch and Orbit Raising: The launch and orbit raising (if needed) phase consists of the launch, transfer orbit operations, orbital maneuvers to the checkout station, appendage deployments, and Spacecraft functional checkout when Spacecraft communications and other subsystems are validated on-orbit.
This phase begins at day L-1 and continues until engineering handover to NASA.
Note: launch vehicle and launch services will be provided by government.

c) Post-Launch Test (PLT): The post-launch test phase consists of all activities required to confirm compliance with the Spacecraft requirements (this document), Instrument requirements, and Ground System requirements. The PLT addresses all Spacecraft subsystems, instruments, instrument calibration, ground system characterization, and product assurance. It is during PLT, that all Image Navigation and Registration (INR) requirements are confirmed. This phase begins at the engineering handover and continues until the Spacecraft is declared operational.
d) Operations: The operational phase consists of routine Satellite and data handling activities performed throughout the life of the mission. This phase also includes any period when the Spacecraft is in on-orbit storage. The ground system processes instrument data and generates and distributes data products to the user community. During the Operations phase, NOAA is responsible for mission management including planning and scheduling, building, verifying, and sending command loads, routing of mission data, and monitoring and control of the Spacecraft. Mission life includes PLT, on-orbit storage, and Operations durations and begins once the Spacecraft has achieved geosynchronous orbit.
e) End of Life (EOL): At the end of its operational life, operators raise the Spacecraft orbit to nominally 300 kilometers above geosynchronous altitude to vacate its orbital slot.
1.7 Definitions
Throughout this document, the following definitions apply. Additional definitions applicable to the battery system are found in Appendix A: Battery System Definitions.
Accuracy: Refers to the error in a measurement that is the difference between the measured and true value. It includes both systematic and random errors. Systematic errors must be estimated from an analysis of the experimental conditions and techniques. Random errors can be determined, and reduced, through repeated measurements under identical conditions and a Standard Deviation calculated. The magnitude of a random error is taken as three standard deviations (3).
Abnormal Operation: Encompasses unforeseen circumstances that are not handled via established contingency plans and operational states such as anomalous conditions or failures.
Absolute Time Commands: Stored Commands that have a time tag containing an absolute Spacecraft time.
Absolute Time Command Buffer: An allocated memory area used to store the absolute time commands.
Absolute Time Sequence Command: Sequences of commands that are executed at the absolute time associated with each command in the sequence.
Allowable Flight Temperature: See Mission Allowable Temperature
Attitude Knowledge: Attitude knowledge is the difference between the true attitude and estimated attitude.

Battery System: The battery system is the Satellite battery which can be a parallel configuration of batteries or a single battery comprised of a parallel/series combination of battery cells. Battery system interfaces can include telemetry, command, cell balancing, and test which can reside outside of the physical configuration of the battery.
Component: A functional subdivision of a subsystem and generally a self-contained combination of items performing a function necessary for the subsystem’s operation and synonymous with Unit. Examples include electronic box, transmitter, gyro package, actuator, motor, battery, instrument electronics unit, sensor unit.
Computer Software Configuration Item (CSCI): A group of software treated as a single entity by a configuration management (CM) system.
Critical Command: A command issued by the ground to the Satellite producing changes in operational parameters that have the potential to adversely affect the health and safety of the Satellite (Spacecraft and/or instruments) or resulting in irreversible changes to the operational state of the Satellite.
Critical Structural Members: Structural members are classified as critical when their failure would result in loss of structural integrity of the flight units.
Credible Failure: A condition that has a reasonable likelihood of occurrence over the mission life. With consideration of reliability and engineering experience, the government technical authority will determine credibility of failure. For the purposes of this document, failures of structure, pressure vessels, and pressurized lines and fittings are not considered credible failure modes if those elements comply with the applicable requirements of this document.
Data Latency: The time interval between the end of a data collection sequence and the time that the data are available on the Ground.
Design Life: The minimum duration during which the Spacecraft must be capable of performing all mission operational requirements.
Eclipse: Defined as when the solar disk is completely or partially occulted by the Earth or Moon as viewed from the Spacecraft.
Essential Loads: Power loads that are essential for safety and health of the space vehicle.
(CCR-X00199)

hazard, or a command whose execution can lead to a reduction in the control of a hazard (including reduction in failure tolerance against a hazard or the elimination of an inhibit against a hazard).
Launch: The period between lift off and the separation of the GeoXO Satellite from the launch vehicle.
Limit Loads: Limit loads are defined as all worst-case load conditions including temperature effects from the environments expected during all phases of the structure's service life including manufacturing, ground handling, transportation, environmental testing, integration, pre-launch, launch and on-orbit operations and storage.
Margin (%) is represented by the equation: Margin (%) = [(Available Resource - Worst-case Estimate) / (Available Resource)] x 100.
Measurement Resolution: Resolution of the A/D converter.
Mission Critical Events: Critical events are the events in a mission that must occur in sequence to achieve overall mission success. If the event is not executed properly and without anomaly, it could result in failure to accomplish the mission. Examples of mission-critical events include: launch and ascent, separation from the launch vehicle, power-up of major components or subsystems, deployment of mechanisms and/or mission-critical appendages, initial thruster firings and all planned propulsive maneuvers required to establish mission orbit and/or achieve safe attitude.
Mission Allowable Temperature: Mission Allowable Temperature (MAT) is defined as the worst case thermal analysis predictions with a minimum of 5°C uncertainty for all mission phases launch, orbit raising, ascent and on-orbit operation from the beginning of life to the end of life for operational mode. The uncertainty value during the design phase is expected to be larger, narrowing as the design matures, and at the conclusion of satellite-level thermal testing the MAT still contains 5°C uncertainty.
