The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to assess the adequacy of planned geostationary and polar meteorological satellite coverages in terms of system continuity and backup. The seven recommendations presented by the committee include advice on ways to improve system continuity and backup, particularly through efforts to make better use of geostationary satellite sounding data, considerations for gap-filler satellites for the polar orbiting system, accommodating the long lead-time requirements for procurement of new sensors and spacecraft, the need for a ground system backup for the GOES Command and Data Acquisition Station, and procurement, launch, and storage strategies for the polar and geostationary satellites.
