Description:The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Satelliteand Product Operations (OSPO) has successfully operated and disseminated data forGeostationary (GEO) and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) operational environmental satelliteconstellations for over fifty years. Satellites in both categories have typically provided Earthscience data as their primary missions, with geostationary satellites yielding data fornational, regional, short-range warning and immediate forecasting, and polar-orbitingsatellites providing data for global, long-term forecasting and environmental monitoring. In2015, after a hiatus of over a decade, and years of repurposing, the Deep Space ClimateObservatory (DSCOVR), formally known as Triana, was launched and placed in a Lissajousorbit at the L1 Lagrangian point, and subsequently integrated into NOAA’s Office ofSatellite and Product Operations (OSPO) operational framework. With a primary missionof Space Weather Forecasting financed by NOAA, and a secondary mission of Earth ScienceMeasurements financed by NASA, OSPO expanded its satellite operations footprint byinheriting its first deep space mission, setting the stage for the operation of future deep spaceconstellations, and the subsequent expansion of OSPO operations beyond Earth weatherforecasting. This paper outlines the challenges of developing and implementing a seamlessintegration of a L1 Lagrangian satellite, with a primary Space Weather Forecasting mission,into NOAA’s Geostationary and Low-Earth Orbit Earth Weather Forecasting operationalenvironment, and addresses various issues and aspects encountered when fulfilling therequirements for a satellite with both a primary and secondary mission, and two discreteend user organizations.
