Background

The mission of NOAA/NESDIS is to provide timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation’s economy, security, environment, and quality of life. To meet its mission responsibilities, NESDIS acquires and manages the ground system for the Nation’s operational environmental satellites and provides ground system services to partner missions. The NOAA/NESDIS antenna enterprise is comprised of antennas at the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS) in Wallops Island, VA; the Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Station (FCDAS) in Fairbanks, AK; the Consolidated Backup (CBU) Facility in Fairmont, WV; and the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD. The ground system supports spacecraft in various orbital regimes including Geostationary Earth orbit (GEO), Polar and Low Earth Orbit (LEO), and Lagrange Point Orbit. The NOAA/NESDIS antenna enterprise network simultaneously supports satellites actively collecting weather data as well as satellites in a backup on-orbit storage mode and satellites in transfer phase. Spacecraft include those owned/operated by NOAA, non-NOAA US partner missions, and foreign owned partner missions.

Requirements

  • Providing consolidated antenna sustainment and maintenance services for legacy assets.
  • Building out new capabilities and capacity as directed in LEO, GEO and SWO ground system domains
  • Supporting Antenna-as-a-Service (NAaaS) transformation initiatives, and New and emerging antenna and ground system technologies.
