NOAA is Using New Cloud-Based System and Business Model to Supply Data from Older Environmental Satellite FleetA trio of polar satellites that were once frontline in NOAA's ability to predict weather and climate from space, are now operated through a new, cloud-based commercial engineering services contract called POES Extended Life.
Ongoing POES operations will continue with no impacts to any of the satellites’ health and safety. NOAA will use the experience gleaned from this GSaaS approach to develop and implement its next generation cloud-based satellite ground system architecture. On November 28, operation of all three POES satellites formally transitioned from the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility in Suitland, Md., to the Parsons' Operations Facility in Colorado Springs, Colo., after approximately one year of transition activities. Parsons is now delivering data from the satellites to NESDIS, which enables it to support NOAA's numerical weather prediction and climate models, and environmental monitoring.
