NESDIS Report Information Update for TWG Kay Metcalf

NESDIS Report Information Update for TWG Kay Metcalf NOAA GOES DCS Program Manager April 23, 2015

DADDS Updates • What’s New – – – Warren Dorsey, GOES Engineer for 32 years, Retired DCS Support Contract Transitioned to Kay Metcalf DADDS Functions Enhanced (more information coming) Some Enhancements Ready to Roll out Some Enhancements just beginning 2/28/2021 NOAA GOES DCS 2

Major Activities DADDS has been Primary Focus Writing/Developing New Features ` Monitoring Daily Operations Developing and Implementing Configuration Management Processes. F Populating Tables and Data Bases Planning CS 2 Transition Planning DOMSAT Follow on and Transition to LRIT Planning HRIT (GOES-R era) Transition 2/28/2021 NOAA GOES DCS 3

DOMSAT Status • New Contract in Place for 2015 • Option Year Funded through May 2016 • 2015 funded by NOS, NOAA/NCDC, USBR (Sacramento) and USACE – MOU’s amended for USBR and for USACE – NOS and NCDC funds directly tapped through procurement documents (means no MOU required) • 2015 Funding Sufficient and Transferred to GSA • NOAA/NESDIS Contributed $5 k+ for year • STIWG to take to parent committee • Funding for 2016 needs to be in place by January 2016 • Interagency Agreements Expiring, must be Reworked • Contract is 1 base year 9 option years • Exercising Option is “optional” 2/28/2021 NOAA GOES DCS 4

Operational Activities Major activities GOES-R System Development Continues Launch expected 2016 Working NOAA Satellite Conference Greenbelt Marriott International Training Session Saturday April 25 2/28/2021 NOAA GOES DCS 5

System Anomalies Some Continued Data Losses due to Ionospheric Scintillation (solar flares) but appear to have decreased (not disappeared yet) No apparent major data losses or failures within the last year Due to redundancy from WCDA, NSOF, EDDN, Others Some losses at individual sites Some close calls Domain Controller Redesign by Network personnel took NSOF offline for a few days Water main break at NSOF threatened required shutdown but avoided Network Outage at Wallops last week 25 minute Outage to LRIT Interference with Backup Pilot at Channel 0 Lots of potential Interference with Spectrum Auctions Some in NOAA propose moving backup pilot I prefer to wait for results of monitoring activity for Interference 2/28/2021 NOAA GOES DCS 6

CS 2 Status Users Continued to Deploy CS 2 platforms Setup of 1200 baud CS 2 Channels Began NOAA Demods Redesigned to Accept 100 bps, 300 bps, CS 1, CS 2 Issue with GPS Leap Second occurred when some transmitters applied leap second too early (CS 2 only? ) 2/28/2021 NOAA GOES DCS 7

DCPC Status NOAA Management Asked for Status and Recommended Path Forward Microcom Tasked by Warren Dorsey to Validate Requirement, Collect Relevant information, Recommend Path Forward based on new technologies Report to be Presented by Microcom Friday, April 24, 2015 STIWG Discussed Path Forward We can Talk about that Here 2/28/2021 NOAA GOES DCS 8
