Notice of Availability of a NOAA Satellite Observing System 
Architecture Study Draft Report and Public Meeting

AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 
Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of availability of a NOAA Satellite Observing System 
Architecture Study draft report; request for comments; public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In planning for the future operational environmental satellite 
system to follow the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 
System--R Series (GOES-R, S, T, and U) and the Joint Polar Satellite 
System (JPSS-1, 2, 3, and 4), beginning about 2028, NOAA has conducted 
a study of the NOAA Satellite Observing System Architecture (NSOSA). 
The development of a future system presents an opportunity to design a 
modern architecture by broadly examining instruments, services, 
platforms, and orbits, driven by user needs, new technology, and 
exploiting emerging space business models. The NSOSA study team 
developed and evaluated nearly 100 architecture alternatives, including 
partner and commercial contributions that are likely to become 
available. Through https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=NOAA-NESDIS-2018-0053, the public can view the NOAA Satellite Observing System 
Architecture Study draft report, submit ideas, review submissions from 
other parties, and make comments.
    All comments are welcome. In particular, NOAA would like comments 
on the following areas:
    Did NOAA consider a sufficiently broad range of alternatives?
    Are the opportunities that the analysis identified as deserving of 
consideration consistent with your knowledge of the state of the space 
enterprise?
    Are there outcomes or options that you recommend for further 
analysis?
    What suggestions do you have on engagement with industry, including 
innovative capability development approaches, partnership 
opportunities, and business models that may inform NOAA's path forward?
    What suggestions do you have on engagement with the academic and 
research community and other stakeholders to ensure NOAA makes the best 
use of the outputs of this study?
    NOAA previously discussed the NSOSA study at the American 
Meteorological Society Annual Meeting in January 2018; these 
presentations are available at https://ams.confex.com/ams/98Annual/meetingapp.cgi/Session/44459 and https://ams.confex.com/ams/98Annual/meetingapp.cgi/Session/44460. NOAA will continue to engage the public
