Spire has provided data to NOAA since 2016.
Space weather forecasts are issued regularly by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) at NOAA and by agencies in other countries.
Spire was awarded a $2,800,000 contract by NOAA in September 2023 to provide data on ocean surface wind speeds.
NASA awarded a $486,900,000 contract to Ball Aerospace on 2023-09-11 to develop the GeoXO Sounder (GXS) instrument for the Geostationary Extended Observations program for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
NOAA’s Tier 1 remote sensing license covers Sidus’ upcoming LizzieSat™ scheduled to launch in March 2024 on the SpaceX Transporter-10 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Communications, remote sensing, and launch and reentry activities are overseen by the FCC, NOAA, and the FAA, respectively.
NOAA is planning two successors to SWFO, designated L-1 A and L-1 B, with planned launches in 2029 and 2032.
NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Air Force signed a memorandum of agreement at the White House on 2023-12-07 to improve cooperation on space weather research and operations.
The memorandum of agreement commits NASA, NOAA, NSF, and the U.S. Air Force to coordinate activities that transition space weather research into operational forecasts and provide user feedback from operational applications into research (research-to-operations-to-research, or R2O2R).
The Space Weather Advisory Group issued a report earlier 2023 that called on NOAA to improve its R2O2R activities and noted there has been substantial progress but that NOAA could do more to create operations-ready research data and improve model maturity.
The Office of Science and Technology Policy released a document in March 2022 establishing an R2O2R framework and calling for NASA, NOAA, NSF, and the U.S. Air Force to develop a new agreement to collaborate on transitioning research into space weather operations and providing operational requirements to researchers.
NASA is the lead implementing agency of the U.S. Greenhouse Gas Center and partnered with the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
NOAA awarded a contract to Parsons Corporation in September 2022 to implement POES Extended Life.
Operation of all three POES satellites transitioned from the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility in Suitland, Maryland to Parsons’ Operations Facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado on 2023-11-28 after approximately one year of transition activities.
Parsons added a team of private-sector companies to transition operational control of NOAA-15, NOAA-18, and NOAA-19 and to develop a new commercial cloud-based ground system that will remain active until September 2025.
NOAA pursued a Ground System as a Service (GSaaS) capability to continue operating NOAA-15, NOAA-18, and NOAA-19 well into the future.
Parsons is delivering data from NOAA-15, NOAA-18, and NOAA-19 to NESDIS to support NOAA’s numerical weather prediction and climate models and environmental monitoring.
The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) spacecraft is scheduled to launch on a Falcon 9 in February 2025 and will include NOAA’s Space Weather Follow-On spacecraft and NASA’s Carruthers Geocorona Observatory as payloads.
The NOAA remote sensing license allows Satellogic to open ground stations in the United States to downlink data from its Aleph-1 constellation.
Satellogic initiated a license application for its Aleph-1 Constellation to establish an end-to-end U.S. pixel path and expand support for customers with NOAA requirements.
