1.0 SCOPE

This document describes the design of the GOES-R Ground Segment (GS). The initial issue of this document described the Preliminary Design of the GS; subsequent revisions to this document have been generated for significant design changes driven primarily by:

• Critical Design Review (CDR)

• Server Replacement with Virtualization (ECP 033)

• Remote Access and Development (RAD)

• Compact Coronagraph (CCOR) instrument for GOES-U/GOES-19

• Space to Ground Communication (SGC) Obsolescence/Replacement

This revision of the document reflects the “end state” of the GS design for the items listed above.

1.1 Identification

The Ground System Design Document, GSDD_SE-07 (originally developed as a deliverable under

Contract DG133E-09-CN-0094), describes the design of the Geostationary Operational Environmental

Satellite “R” Series (GOES-R) Ground Segment (GS). Updates to this document are provided in accordance with Contract 1332KP-23-D-NAAA0003.

1.2 GOES-R Ground Segment Overview

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates a system of Geostationary

Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) to provide continuous weather imagery and monitoring of meteorological and space environment data to protect life and property across the United States. Two

GOES satellites remain operational (75.2 degrees west and 137.0 degrees west longitude) at all times providing coverage for the eastern United States and most of the Atlantic Ocean and the western United

States and Pacific Ocean basin. Post-Launch Test (PLT) of new satellites is performed at approximately

89.5 degrees west longitude. After PLT, an on-orbit spare satellite is maintained at 105 degrees west longitude (or the PLT location) to permit rapid recovery from a failure of either of the operational satellites.

GOES satellites provide critical atmospheric, oceanic, climatic and space weather products supporting weather forecasting and warnings, climatologic analysis and prediction, ecosystems management, and safe and efficient public and private transportation.

The next generation GOES (designated the GOES-R Series) provides continuity of the GOES mission (at

75.2 degrees west and 137.0 degrees west longitude) and improvement of its remotely-sensed environmental data. The GOES-R System consists of the Space and Ground Segments. The Space Segment comprises the spacecraft bus, and its remote-sensing instruments and communications payloads. The

Ground Segment (GS), comprising all Earth-based functions, provides satellite operations and product generation and distribution.

The primary GOES-R instrument is the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) that provides full disk, CONtinental United States (CONUS), and mesoscale imagery for global and CONUS forecasting and severe weather warning. Secondary instruments include the Extreme ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance

Sensor (EXIS), Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI), Space Environment In-Situ Suite (SEISS), Magnetometer

(MAG) on GOES-R (GOES-16) and GOES-S (GOES-17), Goddard Magnetometer (GMAG) on GOES-T

(GOES-18) and GOES-U (GOES-19), Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), and for GOES-U (GOES-

19) the Compact Coronagraph (CCOR). Additionally, GOES-R provides a set of communications services

2 NON-Export Controlled Information

(Unique Payload Services) in support of the Data Collection System (DCS), High-Rate Information

Transmission/Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (HRIT/EMWIN), and Search-and-

Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT).

The GOES-R GS operates from three sites. The NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD houses the primary Mission Management (MM), and selected Enterprise Management (EM), Product

Generation (PG), and Product Distribution (PD) functions. The Wallops Command and Data Acquisition

Station (WCDAS), located in Wallops, VA, provides the primary space communications services, EM and

MM functions, and selected PG and PD functions for the production of the sectorized Key Performance

Parameters (KPPs) for distribution to Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS). The third site is the Consolidated Backup (CBU) facility in Fairmont, WV, which houses the GOES-R remote backup functionality. CBU functions as a completely independent backup for the MM and selected PG and

PD functions for the production of KPPs and GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) data, and is capable of concurrent and remote operations from NSOF and WCDAS. The CBU has visibility to all operational and on-orbit spare satellites. The KPPs consist of the L2+ Cloud and Moisture Imagery (CMI) (CONUS, Full Disk, and

Mesoscale) product and its sectorized products. In addition, there are two Operational Support Locations

(OSLs) – one located at the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWP) in College Park, MD, and the other at the GOES-R factory in Melbourne, FL. The OSLs provide additional GS operator workstation positions and WAN connectivity to the GS to support GS functions such as testing and deploying updates to the field, troubleshooting and resolving issues, and system monitoring. OSLs contain no servers hosting operational functions such as satellite command and control. Figure 1.2-1 provides an overview of the GOES-R System and GS. A terrestrial network between WCDAS, CBU and NSOF has been established for GRB data, referred to as Terrestrial GRB (TGRB) data, thus removing the dependency at NSOF on GRB uplinked/downlinked data.

The satellites are 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

WCDAS, or CBU. The engineering telemetry streams are received by WCDAS, and CBU, and ground relayed to the SOCC for processing and monitoring at all locations.

The raw sensor data are received at WCDAS and processed by the PG function at WCDAS to create L1b and L2+ (CMI, GLM and GLM Flash Extent Density (FED)) products. Sectorized KPP products are created from the L2+ CMI by the PD function and directly distributed to the National Weather Service

(NWS) Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System’s (AWIPS) Network Control Facility (NCF) where key NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) and other AWIPS users get their data. GLM FED products are produced from the L2+ GLM data and directly distributed to AWIPS. L0 data are generated at WCDAS and delivered to the government provided Geo Product Access Services (GPAS) in the

GeoCloud, for use in calibration and validation activities, and for secondary distribution to the NOAA

National Centers for Environmental Information – North Carolina (NCEI-NC), via the GPAS. For GOES-

U (GOES-19) the CCOR instrument L0 data are sent to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center

(SWPC) and the SWPC Alternate Processing Site (APS) in near real-time and are archived in the GPAS.

The L1b and L2+ (GLM) products are then rebroadcast through the spacecraft GRB transponder. The GRB data are also sent from WCDAS/CBU via terrestrial network to NSOF where the remaining L2+ products are created. Ancillary data used in generating the L2+ products at NSOF are ingested from the Ancillary

Data Relay System (ADRS) function of the Product Distribution and Access (PDA) interface. At NSOF, applicable products are distributed to the PDA GOES-R Access Subsystem (GAS) component of the

Environmental Satellite Processing and Distribution System (ESPDS) for distribution to end users such as

National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), NWS, and other GOES data users such as the Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) for long term archive and access supporting retrospective users of GOES data. Figure 1.2-2 shows the primary data flow through the system.

At the CBU, the raw sensor data are received through its RF interface and processed by the PG function and distributed by the PD function.

The GS includes separate development and integration and test (I&T) environments for the purposes of ongoing development and I&T throughout the GOES-R mission. Portions of these environments are

3.0 GOES-R GS DESIGN DESCRIPTION

Section 3 of this document discusses the overall GOES-R Ground Segment Design.

3.1 GOES-R GS Design Decisions

Table 3.1 summarizes the design decisions that apply to the design of the GOES-R GS. These design decisions were made by the government and were articulated in the GOES-R Functional and Performance

Specification (F&PS) provided as System Requirements.

Table 3.1 GOES-R Ground Segment Design Decisions

Title Design Decision(s) Rationale

Spacecraft navigation

The satellite navigation system uses the

Global Positioning System (GPS).

Autonomous operations are enhanced and navigation error contribution to product mapping accuracy is minimized.

Space-ground communications links

The satellite command uplinks are at S-band. The satellite telemetry downlinks are at S-band. The satellite instrument raw data downlink is at X-band. The

GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) uplink to the satellite is at X-band. The satellite GRB downlink is at L-band.

Selected bands driven by legacy and interoperability considerations

(commanding, telemetry, GRB downlink), and bandwidth availability (instrument raw data downlink, GRB uplink).

Space- ground interface protocols

The CCSDS family of network, link, and physical layer protocols for space-ground communications are used.

Open, standards-based protocols minimize life-cycle costs.

Command and

Telemetry

Exchange

The CCSDS Recommended Standard for

XML Telemetric and Command Exchange

(XTCE) is used to exchange satellite and instrument information needed by the GS.

Standards based exchanges improve interoperability with multiple OTS products and reduce life cycle costs.

Deployment locations

The GS is deployed at the NOAA Satellite

Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, Maryland, Wallops Command and Data

Acquisition Station (WCDAS) near

Chincoteague, Virginia, and the

Consolidated Backup Unit (CBU) in

Fairmont, West Virginia. The NSOF and

WCDAS are the primary sites. The CBU is the backup site.

The use of existing facilities minimizes life-cycle costs.

Continuity of operations

The CBU site promotes the continuity of operations.

GOES operational mission continuity of operations requirements.

Space-ground communications site connectivity

Telemetry and commanding links at

WCDAS and CBU. GRB uplink and downlink at WCDAS and CBU.

Instrument raw data downlink at WCDAS and CBU.

A combination of legacy, real estate availability, and life-cycle cost considerations.

Table 3.1 GOES-R Ground Segment Design Decisions

Title Design Decision(s) Rationale

External system connectivity

AWIPS connectivity at WCDAS and

CBU. PDA (GAS and ADRS) connectivity at NSOF.

A combination of GOES-R user requirements for products and life-cycle cost considerations.

GS partitioning The GS is partitioned into the Core

Ground Segment, the Antenna System, the

Timing and Frequency Reference System, the GOES-R Access Subsystem, the Space

Segment Command and Telemetry

Simulator and the Space Segment Satellite

Simulator.

Risk-reduction and programmatic.

Three Site

Satellite

Telemetry &

Command (T&C)

Satellite telemetry monitoring and commanding functions are available at all three sites.

Provides for continuity of operations, and operational flexibility.

Three Site

Satellite Data

Repository

Include a 5-day satellite telemetry and raw instrument data repository at NSOF

(telemetry only), WCDAS and CBU.

Provides for anomaly investigation, integration and test, and training.

Four Satellite

Extensibility

Extensibility to operate up to four satellites concurrently.

Allows satisfaction of operational mission requirements.

ISO Metadata Use applicable ISO metadata standards for

GOES-R products and produce ISO Series metadata for product types. Incorporate dynamic metadata into end product file formats.

Ensure GOES-R products are interoperable and support operational and climatology needs while reducing bandwidth use by eliminating redundant information.

Product File

Formats

Use Network Common Data Format

(netCDF-4), and Flexible Image Transport

System (FITS) file formats for products.

Utilize prevalent file formats for environmental products.

Core GS contains at least four

Elements

The Core GS to be implemented with four elements: Mission Management, Enterprise Management, Product

Generation and Product Distribution.

Customer directed in procurement.

IS as a fifth

Element

Collect network hardware, storage hardware and compute platforms into the

Infrastructure Element (IS).

Better management of selection and design of common hardware components. Consolidated storage across four elements (MM, EM, PG and PD). Optimized storage and network solutions across segment.
