ENABLING GOES-R SERIES ON THE GROUND
Managing a growing constellation of satellites and sensors, rapidly processing even larger volumes of data and quickly delivering information and products to users worldwide requires a scalable ground system. ̽»¨ÊÓÆµ built NOAA’s GOES-R Ground System to support the entire GOES-R constellation and future Space Weather Follow-On (SWFO) satellites. Drawing on its experience building this sophisticated ground system, ̽»¨ÊÓÆµâ€™ next generation ground system architecture will empower NOAA to focus on the mission rather than hardware and facilities.
̽»¨ÊÓÆµâ€™ enterprise cloud-based services, high-performance computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies ensure NOAA can cost-effectively keep pace with future data rate and volume demand. This highly scalable ground system architecture is expandable to support additional satellites and missions while maintaining high-throughput, low-latency data processing and high system reliability all with a reduced footprint.
