7. Closing Remarks Page 7 Where to from here? Generate a CCR to update requirements Integrate a schedule Prioritize Issues and develop work off plans. Peer MOR (Aug 27-28, 2008) MOR (November 2008) – Mission readiness assessment review NCT 3 (June ‘09) –Execute nominal mission data handling propagating data through the ground system with all 4 flight sensors on board the satellite and after installation of the ground system on-site (72 Hrs.) NCT 4 (TBD) –Exercises mission configuration, 3 days in the mission life with all elements of ground segment. Real-time telemetry and SMD may be played back from local storage at the Svalbard station to C3S and IDPS using the operational links.

9. Closing Remarks Page 9 Issues As Captured Need 28hrs of RDR data fall ‘08 Oct -Nov –W/o this data systems may not be ready for NCT3 Not clear who was writing/describing some “unique” data products e.g., VIIRS resample SDRs –A table of products, formats, and documentation source is needed. Xtalk issue may need to be revisited as related to to choosing I1 over M5 Coordinate build schedule plans w/ NPP Project SI&T as related GS Freeze –It was not clear whether or not the build 3 schedule was acceptable with NPP SI&T.
