美国海洋与大气管理局(NOAA)未来的地球同步轨道气象卫星与现在的卫星相比可能会更小,成本更低,研制的方法也不同。这种途径有时被称为“更小、更便宜、更快”,是由美国航空航天管理局正在推行的一种方法。我们认为,将来的资金会更少,人们将把重点放在使用正确的技术上,并且希望从投入的设备中获取最大的价值。本文介绍我们在确定未来GOES卫星方面所取得的最新进展。这其中将包括我们在考虑早期用户的要求,使用先进技术以及考虑新的降低成本和管理计划技术方面所作出的努力。
NOAA future geosynchronous orbit meteorological satellites may be smaller, cheaper and have different approaches to development than existing satellites. This approach, sometimes referred to as “smaller, cheaper, faster,” is a method being pursued by NASA. We think there will be less funding in the future and people will focus on using the right technology and want the maximum value out of the equipment they invest. This article describes the latest developments we have made in determining the future of GOES satellites. This will include our efforts to consider early user requirements, use advanced technologies, and consider new cost reduction and management planning technologies.
