| GOES |
| The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) N/O/P satellite ground system supports a constellation of three GOES satellites in orbit around Earth (GOES-13, GOES-14, and GOES-15), one satellite in orbit around the Sun (Deep Space Climate Observatory—DSCOVR), as well as three antenna stations. These spacecraft were known prior to successful launch as GOES-N, GOES-O, and GOES-P. It provides the information technology (IT) and computing resources necessary to command and control the satellites, to monitor and maintain the state of health of the satellites and the associated payloads, to receive and store instrument data, and transfer to the Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) and the National Weather Service (NWS). The ground system is located at the NOAA NSOF in Suitland, MD, at the Wallops, VA and Fairbanks, AK (CDAs) and at the Wallops Backup facility (WBU) located at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD |
Components of the GOES N/O/P ground system include: Antennas, RF/IF distribution systems, NTACS front end processors, Multi-use Data Link (MDL) satellite modems, GOES Telemetry and Command Systems (GTACS) server, MDL Receive System and Servers (MRSS), Sensor Processing Systems (SPS), Orbit Analysis and Tracking Systems (OATS), Product Monitor systems (RPM), GOES Archive Systems (GAS), GOES Backup Subsystem (GBS), User / operator workstations and virtualized workstations, Dynamic Interaction Diagnostic (DID) workstations, External Analysis Transfer Systems (EATS), Satellite and instrument Emulator Systems (Boeing Support Equipment (BSE), SXI Emulator (SXIE)), Interconnecting networks and network hardware, switches and firewalls associated with these systems.
Two other subsystems are included within the GOES NOAA 5003 FISMA boundary: the real-time voice communication system, and the DSCOVR subsystem.
The telecommunications for NOAA satellite operations is a real-time voice communication system used by satellite operators located at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD, the FCDAS in Fairbanks, AK, the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS) in Wallops Island, VA and the Consolidated Backup (CBU) facility in Fairmont, WV for satellite launch and 24x7 on-orbit mission operations. It provides a direct communications link between NSOF, FCDAS, CBU and WCDAS. It also provides a direct communications link between these sites, NASA Communications Network (NASCOM) Sites and the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN), based at Schriever Air Force Base (AFB) in Colorado. This system is currently isolated from all other FISMA networks and is documented as a subsystem within the NOAA_5003 FISMA boundary. The required support includes a Monday-Friday, 8AM-5PM local time Service Level Agreement (SLA) for each deployed site, on site stand-by assistance for no more than two events / year during scheduled events, and after hours support (e.g., potential nights or weekends) if necessary for satellite launches.

| DCS |
| The GOES DCS is a data relay system which enables a large variety of environmental data to be gathered from point sources or Data Collection Platforms (DCP). The purpose of the DCS is to collect data from government-sponsored and government-owned DCPs and disseminate the data to all users of the DCS service. The DCS collects data from DCPs located throughout the hemisphere. DCPs include terrestrial, airborne and tethered platforms measuring such observations as wind speed, wave height, water depth, and temperature. Users provide their own DCPs with sensors measuring conditions of interest. The primary Data Collection System (DCS) is located within the WCDAS facility. The backup DCS is located at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF). |
The key DCS work areas cover systems documentation updates, user/operator procedures and training, and System Incident Reports (SIR) response/resolution. Support for the DCS ground system may also include strategic planning, concept development, requirements analysis, system engineering, integration/installation, acceptance test and evaluation, integrated logistics support, training and documentation to upgrade systems.
The Contractor shall operate, maintain and sustain the systems and subsystems comprising the DCS ground system, but not the DCPs; the DCPs are owned, operated, and maintained by the user/operators. The GOES DCS ground system processes and logs data from the DCPs, and distributes the data to registered users (federal, state and local agencies). The DCS distributes data via a domestic satellite (DOMSAT) direct broadcast circuit. The system also automatically transmits selected DCP data to National Weather Service (NWS) users via the Internet and the National Weather Service Telecommunications Gateway (NWSTG). Many other users access the data through the Internet.

| NOAA5050 |
| GOES-R |
| The GOES-R Ground Segment (GS) is comprised of multiple subsystems. The Satellite Operations Zone (SOZ) operates from three sites: (1) NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD which houses the primary Mission Management (MM), and selected Product Generation (PG), Product Distribution (PD), Enterprise Management (EM), and Infrastructure (IS) functions; (2) the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS), located in Wallops, VA, which provides the primary space communications services, MM, EM, and IS functions, and selected PG and PD functions; and (3) the Consolidated Backup facility (CBU) located at Fairmont, WV, which provides a geographically remote location for operations in the event the primary sites are unavailable. The CBU functions as a completely independent backup for the MM and selected PG and PD functions for the production of Key Performance Parameters (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 GOES-R KPPs consist of the L2+ Cloud and Moisture Imagery (CONUS, Full Disk, and Mesoscale) and its sectorized products. The EM function is integrated across all ground segment components and locations. The IS Element’s primary purpose is to provide common services for the Ground Segment that are utilized by all GS elements. The GS Antenna System provides the Space-to-Ground and Ground-to-Space interface with the GOES-R series satellites.
The GOES-R GS also includes the Product Processing Zone (PPZ), a separate operational enclave within the NOAA5050 Assessment and Authorization (A&A) boundary that is logically separated via distinct access controls and mechanisms. The GOES-R PPZ is comprised of its own implementations of PG, PD, EM, IS and includes the PPZ Edge.
The GOES-R PPZ PG Element produces Level 1b and Level 2+ end-products from the data collected by the GOES-R instruments and in turn hands these products over to the PPZ PD Element where it distributes the following product files to the ESPC Product Distribution and Access (PDA) subsystem for distribution and further processing: L1b and L2+ GOES-R Products, Metadata, Mission Operations Data, L1b and L2+ Algorithm Packages, GRB Information files, Instrument Calibration Data, Sample Outlier Files, L2+ and L1b Processing Parameters. The GOES-R Edge, in turn, distributes instrument calibration data, GRB info and sample outlier files that are forwarded to NSOF for distribution to PDA.
The raw sensor data is received by WCDAS, processed by the PG function at WCDAS to create L1b and L2+ Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) products. These L1b and L2+ GLM products are then rebroadcasted through the spacecraft GRB transponder. The GRB data are then received at NSOF where the rest of the L2+ products are created. Ancillary data used in generating the L2+ products are ingested from the Ancillary Data Relay System (ADRS) – (a subsystem within NOAA5045/ESPC; external to NOAA5050/GOES-R). Applicable products are directly distributed from ESPC ADRS to (1) the National Weather Service (NWS) Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) – (external to NOAA5050/GOES-R) where key NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) and other AWIPS users get their data, and (2) the Product Distribution and Access (PDA) component of the Environmental Satellite Processing and Distribution System (ESPDS) – (a subsystem within NOAA5045/ESPC; external to NOAA5050/GOES-R), which includes the GOES-R Access Subsystem (GAS) functionality and ADRS functionality. PDA provides data to NESDIS, NWS, and other GOES data users. There are approximately 300 users of NOAA5050/GOES-R (primarily at the NSOF and WCDAS sites).
