1 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Polar Communications and Weather (PCW) mission to serve the Arctic

2 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Three Major Components COMS payload: Reliable communications in the high latitudes (North of 70º) to ensure – Security Sustainable Development Support to Northern Communities Air and Marine Navigation METEO payload: Provide high temporal/spatial resolution satellite imagery data above 50º N in support of Numerical Weather Prediction Environmental monitoring, emergency response Climate monitoring Space Weather payload: Provide observation of space environment for monitoring and forecasting space weather

3 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Key Interests for NRCan ESS Space weather : Volume, mass and power are allocated for space weather instrument: one of three key PCW instruments – NRCan/ESS is a primary data user Climate Change Multi-spectral imagery to monitor the state of landmass and radiative fluxes over Canada and entire Circumpolar Arctic region -24/7 with 15min to 30min refresh rate Polar Continental Shelf Project Satellite imagery and communication capacity to support Arctic operations CFS 24/7 Forest Fire Monitoring with 15min to 30min update cycle

4 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Value for Canada and Human Civilization PCW will revolutionize the capability for Arctic monitoring and communications; This is comparable to launching the first LEO and GEO satellites, the first man in space, the first mission to the Moon; This project was a dream for two generations that will come true in 2016 ! Canada is positioned now as the best nation in the world to achieve this Space technology readiness Data processing and assimilation readiness Strong users needs and support from OGDs (EC, DND, INAC, DFO, DFIAT, CRC, NAVCAN among others) Strong alignment with Government of Canada priorities in the Arctic

6 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre PCW Orbit Relative to LEO and GEO

7 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Mission Architecture Source: CSA

8 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre PCW Orbit Timing

9 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Latitude-Longitude-Altitude

10 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Imaging From PCW Orbit (FOV equivalent H=24,000km)

11 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Viewing Artic Region From PCW Orbit Two-Satellite System, VZA <90 0 Continuous 24/7 Coverage

12 Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate/ Renforcer la résilience en face de changements climatiques Earth Sciences Sector /Secteur des Sciences de la Terre Future steps After successful completion of feasibility study (Phase 0), CSA is moving PCW project into Phase A; CSA has invited NRCan to join as a partner, waiting for response; Responding to a strong international interest and support CSA is developing the International PCW User and Science Team; Four science groups from NRCan: CCRS, GEOLAB, PCSP, CFS, should be involved in the development of User Requirement Document and various PCW project components and applications.
