## Future Polar Satellite Status

- 6

**Future Polar Satellite Status**

**NOAA-N’ Status:**
- Spacecraft is being re-built.
- Instrument deliveries to Lockheed expected in Oct. 2006 as not to affect I&T schedule (very tight). Earliest launch availability is Dec. 2007.  The ADCS pre-ship review is being held June 28-30, 2005 in France.

## Future Polar Satellite Status

- MetOp
- First satellite scheduled for launch in Apr. 2006 into an late morning, AM orbit
- Will fly US-provided instruments and the A-DCS & SARP/3 provided by CNES.
- Second satellite scheduled for launch in June 2010 into an late morning, AM orbit
- Third satellite scheduled for launch in Dec. 2014 into an late morning, AM orbit

## NPOESS Status
Integrated Program Office (IPO) manages NPOESS program.
Interface Control Document (ICD) for A-DCS has been defined using modified POES ICD. Essentially, the ICD specifies that NPOESS will accommodate the heritage interface. (so far no problems, but, it is early)
First NPOESS, designated C1, planned for launch into a mid-AM orbit in early 2010.  
Second NPOESS, designated C2, planned for launch in spring/summer 2011.
