Current Status and Near Term Activities Follow-On Program Proposal and FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 Agreement have reached the final stage for formal approval and signature at NSC. The Mission Feasibility Design Review at mission level is planned to be held in February. NOAA is coordinating Level-1 requirement document and NSPO has been drafting mission requirement document. These two documents will become the baselines for the Follow-On mission. The Mission Definition Review is planned to be held in late March. NSPO has been developing spacecraft straw- man design. The Mission System Requirement Review is planned to be held in late March.
