The goal of the NOAA Joint Venture Partnership (JVP) Program is to advance NOAA’s observational and data system capabilities by leveraging the investments of NOAA partners. JVP allows NOAA to exploit the capabilities of its partners in both the public and private sectors as a means of advancing its own mission readiness while providing a high return on public funds. The NESDIS strategic goal is to ensure NOAA can support the anticipated increase in the number of operational satellites and other data streams of environmental observations past 2030.
In fiscal year 2024, JVP initiated several projects with industry to inform and potentially influence the planning of the next-generation space and ground architectures. These projects are studies and demonstrations of new technologies and novel concepts that will support reimagining NESDIS’ future approach to its ground operations. The projects are in three main focus area of
- Constellation Mission Operation
- Next Generation Ground Infrastructure
- Data Processing and Dissemination
The GPD contract awards are with Axta Space Corporation and Cognitive Space Inc (Focus area 1, demo), KSAT Inc (Focus area 2, study), and Booz Allen Hamilton (Focus area 3, demo).
This presentation will provide insights behind what NESDIS is looking to gain from ongoing projects and give an overview for possible future areas where additional pilots and demos would be advantageous. Attendees will gain insight into the progress made thus far and the next steps that will be taken to advance these initiatives. The session will highlight the collaboration between NOAA and its partners, showcasing how these efforts contribute to the evolution of NOAA’s ground operations and data processing capabilities.
