A--DRAFT HYPERSPECTRAL ENVIRONMENTAL SUITE (HES)TECHNICAL DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC

The GOES-R Series Project Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has made draft technical documents for the Hyperspectral Environmental Suite (HES) available to the public via their website. The primary objective of the GOES-R mission is to sustain uninterrupted GOES satellite services and enhance capabilities for user agencies. The spacecraft design includes provisions to accommodate the proposed HES instruments. Two key draft documents are accessible: one detailing the Sensor Performance and Operations Requirements, defining the expected performance criteria for the NOAA HES, and another outlining the Unique Instrument Interface, which specifies resource allocation, government-approved operational constraints, and any permitted deviations concerning the instruments. This announcement serves solely to inform and does not request proposals nor imply that a contract will be awarded from it. Future solicitations related to procuring the HES instruments will be issued separately. Interested parties can obtain these draft documents and track updates through the GOES-R Industry Information website. The posting reflects NASA's transparency in sharing preliminary information about the HES to assist potential vendors and stakeholders in preparing for upcoming acquisition opportunities.
