Mission Project Timeline • April 2013 – Created as a directed flight project to: – Secure a host spacecraft for the TEMPO instrument – Work with the TEMPO instrument team to ensure compatibility between the instrument and the host • August 2013 – Initiated procurement for host studies – Study awards are expected June 2014 • November 2013 – Joint Instrument/Mission SRR/MDR • April 2014 – Joint Instrument/Mission KDP B 21 May 2014 TEMPO Science Team Meeting 2

Getting TEMPO to space • Host spacecraft – Commercial geostationary communications satellite • Key

Getting TEMPO to space • Host spacecraft – Commercial geostationary communications satellite • Key requirements – Launch date: NET 11/2018 – Orbit: GEO between 75 -137 o. W – Data rate: <77 Mbps, data delivered to DAAC and SAO IOC • Open competition for host spacecraft – Anticipate using Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Hosted Payload Solutions (Ho. PS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract 21 May 2014 TEMPO Science Team Meeting 3

What is Ho. PS? • Ho. PS: Hosted Payload Solutions – Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite

What is Ho. PS? • Ho. PS: Hosted Payload Solutions – Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract with “lanes” for LEO and GEO hosted payloads – Implemented by USAF Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) • Can be used by any government agency – Fixed price contracts for Hosting • NASA/SMC collaboration – NASA has implemented a Memorandum of Agreement with SMC for collaboration on the Ho. PS contract 21 May 2014 TEMPO Science Team Meeting 4

What will the TEMPO orbit be? • Orbit: 75 -137 o. W (Current PLRA

What will the TEMPO orbit be? • Orbit: 75 -137 o. W (Current PLRA Requirement) – Acceptable: 85 -115 o. W (PLRA proposal) – Preferred: 90 -100 o. W (PLRA proposal) • TEMPO orbit won’t be known until after host selection – Orbit selected - Summer 2015 at the earliest • Estimate of possible hosts based on: – Comsat design life (typically 15 years) • Usually replaced every 14 -15 years – FCC filings • CII and Aerospace maintain databases of GEO spacecraft 21 May 2014 TEMPO Science Team Meeting 6

Potential Host Candidates Preferred: 90°-110° West in the 2018 to 2019 time frame Acceptable:

Potential Host Candidates Preferred: 90°-110° West in the 2018 to 2019 time frame Acceptable: 85°-115° West in the 2018 to 2020 time frame (Assumes operators can “pull forward” launch by a year) e l p m a x E 21 May 2014 TEMPO Science Team Meeting 7
