What is JPSS?

The Joint Polar Satellite System, or JPSS, is the backbone of global satellite-based observations and products that feed U.S. forecasting models

Right now, our primary focus is on increasing data availability through the launch of our next satellite, JPSS-2, and supporting partner missions

The JPSS Program consists of:

▪ Five satellites (two in orbit and three in production), each with at least four instruments

▪ A multi-mission ground system supporting JPSS and multiple partner satellites

JPSS will provide a continuous on-orbit presence from 2011 through 2038

The Future of LEO

Evolve LEO architecture to enterprise system of systems that exploits and deploys new observational capabilities.

Enterprise Ground System

▪ JPSS has augmented the ground segment to provide a suite of services to a heterogenous constellation of missions, including existing NOAA, inter-agency and international missions, including EUMETSAT, JAXA, US

Air Force, NASA, and NSF

▪ In the future, the Ground Segment will support new missions, exploitation of new technologies, improvements to cyber security and increased automation through continuous evolution

Moving Data Processing to the Cloud

▪ Modernizing technology to reduce latency in getting data to end users

▪ Reducing cost by migrating data from on-premises facilities

● Include the sustainment of the existing JPSS Ground System and handle long-term approach to implementing multi-mission LEO ground system services

● Future LEO Ground Services (FLGS) describes the next iteration of the system as whole, but does not denote a presumption of singular or multiple contract(s)

● Expect FLGS will evolve using existing and new elements to ensure NESDIS’ LEO weather satellite mission requirements are fulfilled

FLGS Vision

● JPSS Ground Project supports world-wide Infrastructure and multi-agency/international agreements

● Efforts to modernize and adapt to new technologies are under way

● Opportunities to address the future of Polar Ground are the purpose of this Industry Day

● We encourage your ideas to help shape the way JPSS will manage, maintain and sustain ground services in the future
