It will have new high resolution instruments and a new ground station architecture that will provide more data at a faster rate. By 2016, when the 2 satellite NPOESS constellation is operational, NPOESS will deliver about 6 terabytes of data to NESDIS every day. The products will be available for assimilation into user systems within minutes of observation instead of hours. These changes are so extensive that NESDIS must implement fundamental and widespread improvements to its data management systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and distribution networks in order to successfully deliver NPOESS products.
