OSPO uses the PV-WA VE application development software produced originally by Visual Numerics, Inc. (now Rogue Wave Software) to calculate geo-registration calibration coordinates for the GOES 1-M and N-0-P series of spacecraft. PV-W A VE is an array oriented fourth-generation programming language (4GL) used by engineers, scientists and researchers to develop Visual Data Analysis (VDA) applications. These applications let users manipulate and visualize complex or extremely large technical datasets to detect and display patterns, trends, anomalies and other vital information.

OSPO also uses the PV-W A VE application software for engineering analysis of data to assess spacecraft health and safety for the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program

(DMSP).

OSPO has a requirement to receive IT Security Patches, technical support, software updates, software patches and license resource allocation management for PV-WA VE licenses. In order to receive this support, Rogue Wave Software requires an annual software maintenance subscription renewal.
