Statement of Work

I. INTRODUCTION

NOAA’s space weather mission is to safeguard society with actionable space weather information. Environmental measurements are the foundation for all space weather products.

The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center utilizes measurements of conditions occurring throughout the Sun-Earth system, including the solar surface, solar atmosphere, coronal mass ejections, solar electromagnetic and energetic particle emissions, solar wind plasma and magnetic field, magnetospheric energetic particles and magnetic field, ionospheric total electron content and scintillation, ground magnetic field, and ground neutron flux. NOAA products and services derived from these measurements serve a broad spectrum of civilian and security activities, including electric power distribution, aviation, satellite operations, navigation, and communication.

In response to the PROSWIFT Act and the Government’s effort to leverage commercially available data and services, NOAA intends to conduct a Commercial Weather Data Pilot (CWDP) Study of commercial space weather data sources and related capabilities that may help NOAA meet its space weather mission objectives. For this Pilot Study, NOAA is seeking measurements from low Earth orbiting satellite-based GNSS receivers that will enable NOAA to derive ionospheric products that meet the current and anticipated needs of operational space weather models and applications.

II. DATA SPECIFICATIONS

The Contractor shall supply near-real-time GNSS pseudorange, carrier phase, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurements collected on-orbit. These measurements will be used for ground-based derivation of ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) and scintillation amplitude (S4) and phase (σφ) indices. In addition, the contractor shall supply on-orbit computed S4 indices.

The requirements set forth below constitute the specific operational measurement requirements. Should any requirements not be expected to be met during the Pilot study data delivery period, a clear and detailed plan and schedule to achieve all required capabilities must be provided. The requirements specified here are not indicative of any requirements that may be developed for future contracts or solicitations.

II.1 Definitions

An ionospheric track is a time series of satellite-based GNSS dual-frequency pseudorange, carrier phase, and SNR measurements from which NOAA can produce geolocated ionospheric products for space weather applications and research purposes.

The height of straight line (HSL) altitude of an observation is the height of the tangent point of a straight line between the GNSS transmitter and the receiver relative to the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) reference ellipsoid.

The time of an ionospheric track is defined by the GPS time of its first and last measurement epoch.

The latency of an ionospheric track is defined as the difference between the time of each observation epoch in the track and the receipt of the data by the NESDIS Common Cloud Framework (NCCF).

The Carrier Phase Sampling Rate is the rate of data underlying an on-board calculation of a scintillation index. The Calculation Time Interval is the time period over which a single index calculation is made.

II.2 Requirements for Total Electron Content (TEC)

1. Observational altitude range 90 to 800 km

2. Pseudorange, carrier phase sampling rate 1 Hz

3. Measurement range 0 to 2000 TECU

4. Maximum measurement uncertainty:

a. Relative 0.5 TECU RMS

b. Absolute 4 TECU RMS

5. Maximum daily median latency 30 min

6. At a minimum, the Contractor shall provide data meeting these TEC requirements from at least 500 ionospheric tracks per day throughout the Data Delivery Period (see Period of Performance, below).

II.3 Requirements for Scintillation Indices

1. S4 shall be computed on-orbit and provided for all tracks. For tracks where S4 exceeds 0.3, high rate (50+ Hz) data from the entire observational altitude range shall be downloaded and provided. This provides raw observations for calculation of scintillation indices in the strongest events. To support phase analysis, data from a high-rate reference satellite is required for all such occultations.

2. Observational altitude range 90 to 500 km

3. Minimum carrier phase sampling rate 50 Hz

4. On-board calculation time interval 10 s

5. On-board calculation cadence 10 s

6. S4 Measurement range 0.1 to 1.5

7. Sigma phi Measurement range 0.1 to 20 rad

8. Maximum daily median latency 30 min

9. At a minimum, the Contractor shall provide data meeting these scintillation requirements from at least 25% of the tracks having an on-orbit-calculated value of S4 exceeding 0.3.

II.4 Distribution of Observations

1. Ionospheric tracks shall be nearly uniformly distributed in latitude and longitude, providing nearly global coverage on a monthly basis.

II.5 General Measurement Requirements

1. Data shall be provided only from instruments on satellites with an assigned World Meteorological Organization (WMO) satellite identifier.

2. If applicable, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conversion factor from dB-Hz to Volts/Volt in a 1 Hz band shall be provided.

3. GNSS measurements shall be dual frequency measurements from GPS L1 and L2, GLONASS L1 and L2, or Galileo E1 and E5.

4. GNSS measurements shall be provided with concurrent precise orbit determination (POD) tracking data.

5. POD tracking data shall include dual-frequency pseudorange, carrier phase, and SNR, as collected on-orbit in real time.

6. POD tracking data shall include dual-frequency measurements recorded at 1 Hz or greater rate from a minimum of four GNSS satellites simultaneously for 95% of the POD data collection period.

7. Every other orbit of each RO satellite from which data are provided shall be covered by

POD tracking data at no less than 50% duty cycle with continuous arc length of at least 50 minutes per orbit.

8. POD tracking data shall be from GPS satellites, plus optionally Galileo and/or GLONASS satellites.

9. Navigation solutions calculated onboard the spacecraft shall be provided, including receiver clock offsets and time-tagged Earth-Centered-Earth-Fixed position and velocity.

10. Navigation solution data shall be provided at intervals of 30 seconds or less.

11. Satellite attitude quaternions shall be collected concurrently with all data at intervals of

30 seconds or less.

12. Metadata shall include, at a minimum, for each satellite/instrument configuration:

• Satellite mass, center of mass, external dimensions including any protruding appendages (e.g., solar array wings, antennae), satellite coordinate system geometry, POD antenna reference point vectors relative to the center of mass and corresponding uncertainty estimates, antenna boresight vectors, and antenna fields of view.

• POD antenna phase center offset and phase center variation measurements and corresponding uncertainty estimates, in ANTEX format (https://kb.igs.org/hc/en-us/articles/201096516-IGS-Formats).

III. CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE

In accordance with CAR Clause 1352.201-72, a Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will be designated at award. The COR may provide technical direction and has the authority to accept delivery. The COR is not authorized to make any commitments or otherwise obligate the Government or authorize any changes which affect the contract price, terms, or conditions of the award. Any Contractor request for changes shall be referred to the Contracting Officer directly or through the COR. No such changes shall be made without the express written prior authorization of the Contracting Officer.

IV. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE
