1 Introduction

1.1 Document Scope

This document provides the Level IIA interface, functional, and performance requirements for the Geostationary

Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) Series mission. The GOES-R requirements are traceable to

NOAA/NESDIS GOES-R Program Plan Level II requirements and as such are the source for all lower level

requirements.

1.2 Document Overview

This mission specification is comprised of three sections. Section 1 of this document provides the introduction

including the GOES-R specification hierarchy. Section 2 provides the applicable and reference documents. Section 3

of the document is the core, listing the mission requirements including: system overview, system requirements,

functional segment requirements, system design and construction requirements and maintenance requirements.

Section 4 refers to the documents describing how these requirements will be Verified and Validated. Sections 5 and

6 are references for terminology used throughout.

1.3 Requirements Terminology

The following requirements terminology is used throughout this document:

The term “shall” designates a requirement that must me achieved and is synonymous with the term “threshold.”

The term “should”designates a desired level of performance the government would like the contractor to strive

towards achieving and is synonymous with the term “goal.”

All other terms, including “will”, only designate statements of fact or intentions of the government and are not to be

interpreted as contractor requirements.

The term “(TBD)”, which means “to be determined”, applied to a missing requirement means that the contractor

determines the missing requirement.

The term “(TBR)”, which means “to be refined/reviewed”, means that the requirement is subject to review for

appropriateness and subject to revision. The contractor is liable for compliance with the requirement as if the “TBR”

notation did not exist. The “TBR” merely provides an indication that the value is more likely to change in a future

modification than requirements not accompanied by a “TBR."

1.4 GOES-R Specification Hierarchy

The requirements of this specification are derived from the GOES-R Management Control Plan (MCP). This

specification provides the source document for the requirement allocation to lower specifications shown in the

GOES-R Specification Tree shown below.

3 Mission Requirements

3.1 Mission Overview

3.1.1 Mission Objectives

United States Code Title 15 Chapter 9 has chartered Department of Commerce to forecast weather, issue storm

warnings, and display weather and flood signals that will benefit agriculture, commerce, and navigation. The

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) primary environmental mission therefore is to provide

forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean area, for the protection of life

and property and the enhancement of the national economy. The following are the primary and secondary mission

objectives for the GOES-R mission.

a) Primary Mission Objectives

1) To maintain GOES mission continuity and quality in environmental observations in the GOES-R

timeframe, extending from 2014 through at least 2028 (or the equivalent duration if starting later).

2) To provide enhanced environmental data products

3) To improve services and data being provided to Users

4) To be responsive to technology infusion to meet evolving User needs

5) To protect, restore, and manage the use of coastal and ocean resources through ecosystem

management approaches

6) To understand climate variability and change to enhance society's ability to plan and respond

7) To serve society's need for weather and water information

8) To support the Nation's commerce with information for safe and efficient transportation

b) Secondary Mission Objective

1) To support ties to the NOAA/National/International Observing System

3.1.2 Mission Architecture

Project: NOAA Level I-II Module: MRD Baseline Version: 3.32

Page 6 of 122 Printed Monday, August 8, 2022

The GOES-R System consists of segments for space and launch and for ground. A brief description of the segments

is contained in the following paragraphs. A more detailed description is contained in the reference document GOES-

R Series Concept of Operations (CONOPS).

The notional architecture of the GOES-R system is shown below.

(CCR 01121)

3.1.2.1 Space Segment Description

The Space Segment consists of the spacecraft bus, instrument payload, and associated communications equipment.

The GOES-R spacecraft will be 3-axis stabilized and capable of the fine pointing control necessary for mission

requirements. The primary instrument is the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) that will provide climatic, synoptic,

and mesoscale imagery for global and CONUS forecasting and severe weather warning. Secondary instruments

include the EUVS XRS Irradiance Sensors (EXIS), the Solar UltraViolet Imager (SUVI), the Space Environment In-

Situ Suite (SEISS), the Magnetometer (MAG) and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). For GOES-U, the

Compact Coronagraph (CCOR) instrument will be accommodated and L0 data only will be distributed. Additionally,

GOES-R will provide a set of auxiliary communications services in support of the GOES Rebroadcast service

(GRB), Data Collection System (DCS), High Rate Information Transmission/Emergency Managers Weather

Information Network (HRIT/EMWIN), and Search-and-Rescue Satellite (SARSAT).

Note: For this specification the Level I requirements for the Solar Imaging Suite (SIS) have been decomposed into

EUVS XRS Irradiance Sensors (EXIS) and the Solar UltraViolet Imager (SUVI) requirements. The GOES-NOP

Low Rate Information Transfer (LRIT) and the Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN)

services have been combined into a single service for the GOES-R series spacecraft and renamed High Rate

Information Transmission/Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (HRIT/EMWIN). The

EMWIN/LRIT terminology in older documents and contracts is a valid equivalent to the new service name. (CCR

01423) (CCR 02163) (CCR 03446)

3.1.2.2 Launch Segment Description

The Launch Segment provides those assets and services associated with the launch vehicle (LV) and the payload

integration. The launch vehicle element is an evolved expendable launch vehicle (EELV). Included, along with the

LV, are all the ground support equipment, property, and facilities to integrate the spacecraft to the LV, verify their

integration, conduct pre-launch testing with the ground system, and launch operations.

3.1.2.3 Ground Segment Description

The GOES-R Ground Segment (GS) is comprised of four functional architectural categories: Mission Management,

Product Generation, Product Distribution, and Enterprise Management. These categories have been defined as a

basis for grouping functional elements and are not intended to specify implementation or design. (CCR 01121)

Project: NOAA Level I-II Module: MRD Baseline Version: 3.32

Page 7 of 122 Printed Monday, August 8, 2022

MRD36

MRD44

The Mission Management (MM) functional grouping includes mission scheduling, satellite (spacecraft and

instrument) operations, satellite state-of-health trending, orbital analysis, and ground system operations. The Product

Generation (PG) functional grouping includes algorithm support, processing of raw science data, processing to Level

1b (including calibration, navigation and registration), generation of the data for rebroadcast and for higher level data

creation including operational derived products. The Product Distribution (PD) grouping includes the distribution of

Level 1b, Level 2+, and derived products to users. The NOAA interfaces include the interface to the Comprehensive

Large Array-data Stewardship System (CLASS) system for storage and retrieval of GOES-R series measurements.

(CCR 01121)

3.1.3 Concept of Operations Summary

GOES-R satellites will have two operational locations; 75°W and 137°W. Any GOES-R satellite stored on-orbit will

be located at 105°W. The location for testing on orbit (check-out) is 90° W. Data from the instruments are

packetized in CCSDS data format and transmitted via X-band to Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station

and a Remote Backup facility.

The Ground Segment will operate from three sites: the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD,

the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS), and Remote Backup facility (RBU) located at a

geographically diverse site of Fairmont, WV. This remote site location will have visibility to operational and on-

orbit spare satellites. The Enterprise Management (EM) function lies over all ground segment components and

locations.

Full detail of the concept of operations is contained in the GOES-R Series Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

[Reference Document 5]. (CCR 01121) (CCR 01625)

3.3 Product Requirements

3.3.1 Product Primary Instrument Sources and Prioritization

The GOES-R Program Plan divided the remote sensing needs of NOAA into the following categories: atmospheric,

land, ocean, and space and solar. The observational requirements that are met by this MRD are derived from those in

the GOES-R Program Plan. The atmospheric category contains observational requirements for atmospheric

observations relating to short-term weather forecasting and weather prediction. The land category contains

observational requirements for the land surface focusing on shorter term variations in these quantities than polar

observations. The ocean category contains observational requirements for measurements of ocean, large lake, and

ice properties relevant to the environment and transportation. The space and solar category (or space weather)

contains observational requirements for measurements and forecasts of the space environment as well as for solar

activity.

Project: NOAA Level I-II Module: MRD Baseline Version: 3.32

Page 11 of 122 Printed Monday, August 8, 2022

The GOES-R series satellite observational requirements are prioritized as follows:

a) Product Set 1: Includes Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), where inability to meet threshold level

requirements is cause for system reevaluation or termination, and other high priority and related legacy

products

b) Product Set 2: Includes next highest priority legacy and related products

c) Product Set 3: Includes next highest priority and related products

d) Product Set 4: Includes remaining products

other appropriate NOAA data sources. (CCR 02115) (CCR 02163) (CCR 02166)

3.3.2 Product Parameter Definitions

3.3.2.1 Product Geographic Coverage/Conditions

Product geographic coverage is defined as the size of the area that must be observed in the revisit time in order to

complete the product; in the case of CONUS, it also specifies a particular area as well as location.

The GOES-R products are calculated for the coverage areas of the Level 1b data provided by the instrument subject

to the qualifiers listed in each product table.

3.3.2.2 Product Orthogonality/Coverage

Product Orthogonality/Coverage is defined for the Space and Solar Products only and is nominally the equivalent of

the Product Geographic Coverage.

3.3.2.3 Product Vertical Resolution

Product vertical resolution is defined as layering averaging of the resultant samples corresponding to different heights

in the atmosphere; where only one vertical sample is collected, no layer averaging is needed.

The GOES-R System will produce the required vertical layering of the GOES-R products employing external data

sources if needed.

Discussion: For typical imaging products, the vertical layering is typically over the total column.

3.3.2.4 Product Horizontal Resolution

Product horizontal resolution is defined as the finest horizontal spatial element of the product measured at nadir.

The GOES-R System will not spatially degrade the product horizontal resolution beyond that of the Level 1b data of

the earth-looking instruments when making Level 2+ products, except in the generation of GOES-R products with

coarser horizontal resolution. (CCR 01186)

3.3.2.5 Product Horizontal/Angular Resolution

Product Horizontal/Angular Resolution is defined for the Space and Solar Products only and is nominally the

equivalent of the Product Horizontal Resolution.

3.3.2.6 Product Mapping Accuracy (Product Geolocation)

Project: NOAA Level I-II Module: MRD Baseline Version: 3.32

Page 19 of 122 Printed Monday, August 8, 2022

Product geolocation or more generally product mapping accuracy is defined as the accuracy of the registration of the

collected data to the appropriate earth or other reference frame.

The GOES-R System will geolocate the GOES-R series Level 1b data (which meets instrument image navigation and

registration requirement for earth-looking instruments) to comply with the product mapping accuracy requirements.

Note: The product mapping accuracy requirements for Atmospheric, Land and Ocean products in sections 3.3.3,

3.3.4 and 3.3.5 are only applicable while the satellites are in their nominal operational orbit locations. The nominal

orbit locations are defined as a box of +/- 0.1 degree about the operational longitude. (CCR 01721A)

3.3.2.7 Product Pointing/Mapping Accuracy

Product Pointing/Mapping Accuracy is defined for the Space and Solar Products only and is the equivalent of the

Product Mapping Accuracy.

3.3.2.8 Product Pointing Knowledge/Mapping Uncertainty

Product Pointing Knowledge/Mapping Uncertainty is defined for the Space and Solar Products only as the

knowledge of the line of sight of the space and solar instruments.

3.3.2.9 Product Measurement Range

Product Measurement Range is defined as the range from the minimum to the maximum values over which the

product will be measured.

3.3.2.10 Product Measurement Accuracy

Product Measurement Accuracy is defined for non-categorical products as the systematic difference or bias between

the derived parameter and ground truth. It is determined by computing the absolute value of the average of

differences between the derived parameter and ground truth over a statistically significant population of data such

that the magnitude of the random error is negligible relative to the magnitude of the systematic error.

Product Measurement Accuracy is defined for categorical products in terms of the percentage of correct classification

over a statistically significant population of data.

(CCR 01422A)

3.3.2.11 Product Refresh Rate/Coverage Time

Product Refresh Rate/Coverage Time is defined as the time between the completion of the nth update of the product

and the completion of the (n+1)th update of the same product.

The mission product will be refreshed by the GOES-R system, while meeting the mission product data latency, when

new data from the product coverage region is available, with the following three exceptions:

a) Products that may be made at a NESDIS Infrastructure Interface site

b) Products from the land group

c) Products of the ocean subgroupings of currents and sea and lake ice

Discussion: The GOES-R baseline product tables list refresh times for products. However, ABI data may be

produced more frequently than the listed times, particularly due to the different scan modes of ABI. Products that rely

on surface observations with product refreshes that are long compared to the instrument image refresh times benefit

from observations with no obscurations caused by clouds, although the full system impacts would have to be

assessed.

For exceptions b) and c) above (which refresh at the product refresh values), the intervening observations available

since the most recent product generation will be used to generate a composite of cloud-free pixels for the generation

of that product, with pixels that are cloudy throughout the observation period employing the most recent cloudy pixel

value for the product and pixels that are clear supplying the most recent clear pixel value for the product.

Project: NOAA Level I-II Module: MRD Baseline Version: 3.32

Page 20 of 122 Printed Monday, August 8, 2022

3.3.2.12 Mission Product Data Latency

Mission Product Data Latency is product dependent and is defined as the time from the collection of the last photons

through the time that the data is converted to a specified GOES-R product (often beyond the level 1b) and delivered

to the user portal.

3.3.2.13 Long-Term Stability

Product Long Term Stability is defined as the deviation in accuracy over a period of time, typically the lifetime of the

mission, unless otherwise specified in the product long term stability values.

3.3.2.14 Product Measurement Precision

Product measurement precision for non-categorical products is the one-sigma standard deviation of the differences

between the derived parameters and ground truth over the same population of data used to compute the product

measurement accuracy. For products that are classified into three or more categories, the precision is defined as the

standard deviation of the misclassification error (number of bins away from the correct bin) over a statistically

significant population of data. For products that are classified into two categories, the precision measure is not

applicable.

(CCR 01422A)

3.3.2.15 Temporal Coverage Qualifier

The Temporal Coverage Qualifier provides product-specific limitations to the solar zenith angle coverage of the

products. When the term Day is used in the temporal qualifier, Day is defined as solar zenith angles less than or

equal to 96 degrees. When the term Night is used in the temporal qualifier, Night is defined as solar zenith angles

greater than 96 degrees and includes the period of twilight.

3.3.2.16 Product Extent Qualifier

The Product Extent Qualifier provides product specific limitations to the solar zenith angle coverage of the products

over which a product can be computed. The use of the term quantitative in any of the product extent qualifiers

defines the generation of the product while meeting the threshold product measurement accuracy performance in that

region, whereas the use of qualitative in any of the product extent qualifiers defines the generation of the product

without meeting the threshold product measurement accuracy performance requirements. For CONUS (3000 km x

5000 km) products and mesoscale (1000 km x 1000 km) products, the product will be computed within the CONUS-

sized measurement area and the mesoscale-sized measurement area that falls within the product qualifier limitations.

3.3.2.17 Cloud Cover Conditions Qualifier

The Cloud Cover Conditions Qualifier provides product specific limitations to the cloud cover associated with the

threshold accuracy.

3.3.2.18 Product Statistics Qualifier

The Product Statistics Qualifier provides product specific limitations, where applicable, to the product generation

scene statistics under which the product measurement accuracies apply.

3.3.2.19 Product Parameter Verification Criteria (CCR 01764)

The product parameter requirements in section 3.3 of the MRD will be verified based via the following classes of

criteria: Not To Exceed (NTE), No Less Than (NLT), No Less than Input Zones (NLTIZ), 1-sigma and 3-sigma

(distribution statistics, at less than |µ+3σ| or |µ+ σ|).

3.3.3.1.4 Aerosol Particle Size

The GOES-R System shall produce an Aerosol Particle Size product in accordance with the requirements and

qualifiers provided in the product table below.

The Aerosol Particle Size provides a measure of the bimodal size distribution of the aerosol population in terms of

the effective radius re and effective variance ve of each mode. The effective radius is the ratio of the third moment of

the aerosol size distribution to the second moment. The effective variance characterizes the width of the size

The GOES-R System shall produce an Aerosol Optical Depth: CONUS product in accordance with the requirements

and qualifiers provided in the product table below.

Aerosol Depth is a measure of the fine solids suspended in the air including dust, sand, volcanic ash, smoke, and

urban/industrial aerosols. Aerosol Optical Depth characterization will consist of elements of aerosol optical depth

and fine particulate matter. The fine particulate matter will be derived from the aerosol optical dept translated to

mass concentration in the observed vertical path (microgram per cubic meter), where translation to concentration

depends on particle type and vertical location of the aerosols and determined in regions where aerosols have been

detected above a nominal level that can vary depending on conditions.

3.3.3.2.11 Cloud and Moisture Imagery: CONUS

The GOES-R System shall produce a Cloud and Moisture Imagery: CONUS product in accordance with the

requirements and qualifiers provided in the product table below.

Cloud and Moisture Imagery reports digital maps of clouds, moisture, and atmospheric windows through which land

and water are observed, by reporting radiance measurements converted first to brightness temperature and then

digital counts from 0-255 from all of the bands sensing clouds and moisture from an imaging instrument. Infrared

imagery bands are often chosen either along spectral absorption features including those of water vapor bands or CO

and in regions with no absorption that permit observations of the surface. Visible bands are also chosen to sense the

surface and the low lying cloud and fog interfering with observations of the surface. Low light imagery in the visible

band is also included. Cloud and moisture imagery provides input to other algorithms producing other environmental

products.
