NOAA awarded two-year indefinite delivery–indefinite quantity contracts to GeoOptics and Spire Global with a total ceiling of $23,000,000.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded contracts on 2020-11-20 to purchase radio occultation data from GeoOptics and Spire Global.
Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich is the first of two satellites jointly developed by NASA, NOAA, the European Space Agency, Eumetsat, and the European Commission to provide precise measurements of rising sea levels.
The work planned under the NOAA-Google OTA is intended to enhance NOAA’s ability to leverage large volumes and diverse types of environmental data to improve prediction of extreme weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes.
Quantum Spatial serves as the prime contractor for data collection and processing under NOAA's Coastal and Geospatial Services contract.
NOAA will use the collected data to support additional mapping, nautical charting, geodesy services, marine debris surveys, and marine resource management assessments.
Quantum Spatial recently completed the collection of topographic and bathymetric lidar and digital imagery for NOAA’s largest coastal mapping project.
The U.S. military and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have growing demands for data that can be provided at relatively low cost from companies operating proliferated LEO systems.
The Space Force activated a geostationary weather satellite transferred to the Air Force by NOAA in 2019.
Brandywine Photonics is developing weather instruments and proposing constellation architectures under NOAA Small Business Innovation Research awards.
NOAA awarded Brandywine Photonics a six-month, $60,000 study contract scheduled to be completed in October to evaluate satellites, sensors, and orbits for MetNet.
Since April, NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service has awarded dozens of contracts for studies of instruments, spacecraft, business models, and mission concepts to explore space-based architecture to succeed the Joint Polar Satellite System and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite R series.
Under a 2018 NOAA SBIR, Brandywine Photonics began developing the Doppler Wind Temperature Sounder to measure wind and temperature at altitudes from 20 to 200 km.
NOAA plans a pilot launch of sounder satellites in low Earth orbit as early as 2025 and no later than 2026.
NESDIS plans to begin launching satellites equipped with sounders into low Earth orbit in the mid-2020s to fill data gaps created by the anticipated retirement of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program and NOAA’s Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites.
Since April, NOAA has awarded dozens of six-month study contracts to small and mid-size businesses, large corporations, and universities to flesh out ideas for its next-generation satellite architecture.
The U.S. Space Force is operating a geostationary weather satellite previously owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to provide coverage over the Indian Ocean.
In 2019 the U.S. Air Force reached an agreement to take over GOES-13 from NOAA.
A NOAA satellite first launched in 2006 and retired in 2018 has been repurposed as the Electro-Optical Infrared Weather System – Geostationary (EWS-G1).
NOAA decommissioned GOES-13 in 2018 and replaced it with the GOES-16 spacecraft.
