10. NDE 3 Sep 2008Briefing to NPOESS Science Advisory Team10 Risks Program Risks: –Network to distribute products from NDE to user community is undefined –End User Readiness Project Risks: –Funding Constraints in FY2008-09 limit NDE’s IT Architecture Implementation Product Development Coordination Activities w/NOAA

11. NDE 3 Sep 2008Briefing to NPOESS Science Advisory Team11 IT Architecture NDE forced to extend build schedule –Consequence: No automated Data Distribution in place by NPP launch (Jun 2010) Operational Environment not in place until NPOESS C1 –Shared system test environment to generate NPP products –Mitigation Approach: Work with customers Find alternatives to deliver sample NPP products to NOAA Operational Centers Generate only a small set of NPP products in 2010 until enough IT resources become available in 2011
