NOAA Polar Program Status and Future Plans
  • Bill Mazur
  • Polar Satellite Acquisition Manager
  • U.S. Department of Commerce - NOAA
  • Polar Max 2006 Review
  • October 24, 2005

Topics
  • POES Program Overview
  • Constellation Plans and Status
  • Initial Joint Polar-Orbiting Operational
    Satellite System (IJPS)
  • Metop-A to become Operational
  • JASON-2

POES Mission
  • TO PROVIDE UNINTERRUPTED FLOW OF GLOBAL
    ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION IN SUPPORT OF
    OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
  • Global Soundings
  • Global Imagery
  • Global and Regional Surface Hydrological Obs
  • Direct Readout, Data Collection, Search and
    Rescue
  • Space Environment and Ozone Observations
  • TO ESTABLISH LONG-TERM CONTINUOUS DATA SETS FOR
  • Climate monitoring and change predictions
  • This requires two satellites for continuous
    coverage placed in orbits selected to optimize
    support for both weather services and climate
    requirements.
