Ground System Development StatusGround System Development Status

Accomplishments and Highlights Preliminary design nearing completion and critical design initiated Worked with NASA to the award of the Mission Operations Element contract Evaluated responses to Request For Information (RFI) for demodulators Space to Ground Interface Technical Interchange Meeting Nov 19-21 Continued research on automated cloud cover assessment algorithm

• Algorithm approach has been streamlined, i.e. eliminated time-series and parallax techniques

Full-scene cloud and shadow masks have been developed for use in developing training statistics for decision-tree algorithms and for validating algorithm results

Evaluating trade study hardware required for the internal cache OLI Calibration/Validation Technical Interface Meeting Dec 2-3. The flow

for delivery of algorithms to the ground system was discussed, followed by in-depth technical discussions of algorithm-specific issues.

Landsat L0R RFILandsat L0R RFI

Purpose Gage interest in historical Landsat L0R data (MSS, TM, ETM+)

Determine interest in processing L0R data for custom product generation as a service to others

Determine expectations of the USGS to provide the necessary processing software

Determine the potential frequency and volume of requests

Results Responses received from two commercial firms, both of which are

interested in providing custom processing services

Cost of L0R data will be a factor driving volume of requests

Potential confusion in client base, i.e. free L1T from USGS vs. commercially provided products

Algorithm Delivery Status

Total of 45 algorithms to be delivered for implementation to support on-orbit initialization and verification Ingest Image Assessment Product Generation CalVal Toolkit

An additional 14 algorithms to be implemented by Initial Operations Algorithms are delivered in phases according to progression in the

design and development of OLI instrument and Ground System Image Processing Element (IPE) Phase 1 – completed for IPE PDR (Oct ’08) Phase 2 – to be completed by Data Processing & Archive Segment CDR

(Jul ’09) Phase 3 – to be completed by Ground Readiness Tests (GRTs) Phase 4 – delivered post-launch
