Metop-A McMurdo Orbit Dumps

The Metop-A Global Data Service comprises orbit dumps from both Svalbard and McMurdo ground stations. To improve data timeliness NASA’s McMurdo ground station in Antarctica is used to collect the data from the first half of the satellite’s orbit, in addition to the Svalbard ground station in the Arctic.

The list below shows expected Metop dump operations over McMurdo ground station. Each line represents a single pass over McMurdo, and details that support in terms of the spacecraft and ground station identifiers; spacecraft orbit number and pass times, and ground station configuration.

For orbits where Metop will perform a dump over McMurdo, the timeliness of products will be significantly improved over current service requirements. For orbits where Metop is not expected to perform a dump, product timeliness will remain at present levels.

During the demonstration phase, which is foreseen to last until early 2014, Metop-A will average at least nine McMurdo data dumps per day, in addition to the 14 dumps currently acquired by the Svalbard ground station.

Key:

• W1124-273 = NASA WOTIS unique support ID
• MEA = Metop-A
• MGS = McMurdo Ground station (will shortly be changed to MG1)
• 2011158121800 = Acquisition of Signal (AOS) time of Metop pass over McMurdo
• 2011158123341 = Loss of Signal (LOS) time of Metop pass over McMurdo
• TR1 = McMurdo Ground Station tracking configuration
• 24035 = Metop orbit number
• X1 = McMurdo Ground Station X-band configuration
