Program Systems Engineering and Integration Support

Introduction NESDIS addresses the nation’s requirements to provide global environmental data necessary to monitor the Earth, manage resources, support the Nation’s economy, and protect lives and property. In addition to the two major geostationary and polar-sun-synchronous observatory systems (GOES-R and JPSS), NESDIS develops and operates a number of other satellite systems. These programs are managed under the Office of Programs, Planning and Analysis (OPPA). Under OPPA, programs in the “implementation and execution” will be managed by the Program Management Execution (PME) Division. The Division’s vision is to use robust program management and systems engineering processes to maintain active management, oversight and communication among Delegated Partners to provide mission capabilities.
