- NASA-HQ, NOAA-HQ, and GOES-R program not committed to R&D option
- GOES-R system formulation contracts just starting - end 2006
- R&D capacity on GOES-R is TBD
- We are informal input

## GOES-R R&DPrevious Instrument of Opportunity (IOO)

- NOAA contract option for IOO
- NASA instrument, NOAA ops
- GOES-8/12 and GOES-N/O/P
- S/C capacity* ~ lightning mapper
