The National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Science Investigator-led Processing System (NSIPS) is currently under development to support calibration and validation efforts for the NPP/NPOESS missions. NSIPS is designed to ingest, process, and distribute a variety of data including operational NPOESS products, in-situ data, and Cal/Val specific products such as match-up datasets between satellite products and comparison data sets. NSIPS will provide a centralized facility for data packaging, co-registration, reduction, and specialized storage that will support the common data access needs of the various labs and data analysis centers involved in the Cal/Val effort. These parties include Northrop Grumman Space Technology (NGST), the NPOESS Integrated Program Office (IPO) coordinated community Cal/Val teams, and NASA's NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP) Science Team.
NSIPS is being developed in two phases: a prototype system, NSIPS-P, to be installed in the near-term at the NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF), and a “mission” system, NSIPS-M, that will be deployed for use during the NPP post-launch period. Development and maintenance of NSIPS-M will continue beyond NPP and the system will support Cal/Val efforts for additional NPOESS missions. In this poster, the authors summarize the design, deployment, and operational goals of NSIPS.
