ITT Receives NOAA Study Awards

  17/06/2009
ITT has won two study contracts to address detailed costing of commercial options for operational weather systems. ITT is the premier supplier for operational weather sensors flown on U.S. and international spacecraft with continuous operations during the past 35 years in LEO and/or GEO orbit.

 

ITT Space Systems proposed multiple options to provide geosynchronous sounding and imaging via alternative procurement methods including firm-fixed price and fee-for-service. The specific purpose of the solicited options was to provide vertical atmospheric profiles to aid in improved weather forecasts.

 

Both of these systems were originally planned for the next-generation GOES-R mission, as part of the HES Suite. HES was canceled in 2006 due to cost and risk concerns. ITT proposes options to restore these capabilities at significantly lower cost. By deploying these sensors at lower cost, the full benefit of these critical-need observations can be restored. These options may also be deployed internationally in the same way to meet global weather, fisheries and climate needs.
