Systems Engineering)

Mod Summary: Extended POP

I. Scope

a. Background – The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) mission is to provide military and civilian agencies with environmental, meteorological, and climatological data and products. The Common Ground System (CGS) provides command and control of the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Preparatory Project (NPP) and JPSS spacecraft and instruments. The CGS transports commands, telemetry, and mission data between the space, ground control, and processing facilities and the Customer locations, and enables mission planning, asset management, and delivery of the mission products. Interface Data Processing Segment (IDPS) is part of the Common Ground System (CGS). The IDPS is responsible for the receipt of raw mission data from the Command, Control, and Communications Segment (C3S) and for creating and delivering useable environmental products to Users. IDPS ingests Stored Mission Data (SMD) received from C3S – the artifacts from satellite on-board storage and ground communication routing are removed prior to arrival at the IDPS. The initial ingest processing provides raw data records (RDR; per sensor/channel raw bits) that are subsequently processed to create Sensor Data Records (SDR;

geolocated and calibrated samples), Temperature Data Records (TDR), deliverable Intermediate Products (IP), and Environmental Data Records (EDR; higher level products). The RDR, SDR, TDR, deliverable IP, and EDR products are made available to user systems, for use in application specific, weather related predictions.

b. Summary of work – The contractor shall provide the support services described in the Subtask Description section.

Subtask 1: The contractor shall provide systems engineering and sustainment support for IDPS, inter-segment coordination, and external interface negotiation and evaluation.

Subtask 2: The contractor shall provide systems engineering support for Polar Follow-On (PFO) for the JPSS IDPS team.

Required skills/knowledge –

The contractor shall have a strong technical base in the following areas:

- Spacecraft, instrument and satellite data and associated formats

- Earth Science ground data systems, processing and archiving.

At a minimum, all the personnel shall have the following skills:

- Earth observing mission system engineering skills

- Knowledge of system engineering and integration and data analysis tools

- Knowledge of system engineering standards

- Strong ability to independently lead and interact with distributed team members and different corporate cultures

Additional preferred skills include:

- Experience in system integration and mission data formats; test data generation and system propagation

- Direct, relevant experience and familiarization with NPP / JPSS system architecture and organizational structure

II. Period of Performance

The period during which the work for this task shall be performed is from task award through June 30, 2022.

III. Subtask Description

Subtask 1: The contractor shall provide systems engineering and software engineering support and technical oversight of the IDPS ground system segment.

The systems engineering objectives include:
