In CWDP Round 2, NOAA awarded contracts to GeoOptics, Spire Global, and PlanetIQ.
NOAA has previously acquired radio occultation data from government missions including the six-satellite Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate-2 (COSMIC-2) launched in 2019.
Ball Aerospace won a $96,900,000 contract on 2020-06-25 to build, integrate, and operate the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) satellite destined for Earth-Sun Lagrange Point 1.
The Commerce Department sought to combine the Office of Space Commerce with NOAA’s Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs (CRSRA) office in its 2020 budget proposal and requested $10,000,000 for the combined office.
Congress provided $1,800,000 for NOAA’s CRSRA and $2,300,000 for the Office of Space Commerce instead of the requested $10,000,000 in the 2020 appropriations process.
NOAA awarded Xplore a contract on 2020-05-27 valued at $670,112 for a six-month study to evaluate the feasibility of sending a commercial mission to L1 to provide early detection of solar events threatening the power grid and telecommunications satellites.
NOAA awarded the HIRIS study contract to Raytheon on 2020-05-12 with a contract value of nearly $295,000.
Maxar won an additional NOAA study contract related to geostationary orbit.
For the low Earth orbit architecture study, Maxar is exploring integrating NOAA weather sensors on Legion-class satellite buses under a $350,000 NOAA contract awarded 2020-05-25.
Maxar would own and operate the satellite constellation and leverage much of the same ground infrastructure used for its WorldView Legion remote sensing constellation to supply NOAA with weather data.
Under the geostationary study award, Maxar will flesh out supplying NOAA with Maxar’s commercial geostationary satellite bus, integrating the payload, arranging the launch, and handling payload operations.
