The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) was built and tested by Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation (Ball) under a contract with the GPM program at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Ball has supported the initial on-orbit operations to verify calibration performance and provide a final set of operational calibration algorithms. The GMI instrument was launched onboard the GPM spacecraft on February 28th, 2014. GMI was turned on and completed all deployments March 1st, 2014. Spin up and the start of science operations proceeded on March 4th, 2014. GMI has operated nearly continuously since then and has completed a year of successful operation on-orbit. This paper presents the on-orbit performance of the instrument and the results from the calibration activities.
