1. ATS Information Technology AAWS June 8-10, 2004 EXCELLENCE THROUGH TEAMWORK NPOESS Schedule and Processes

2. NPOESS Timeline Direct Readout Software Production Schedule NPP DEMO will release a minimum of 6 Environmental Data Records (EDR) for direct readout

3. NPOESS Timeline Direct Readout Software Production Schedule 2.3 NPOESS Field Terminal Support (FTS) software build will contain a complete end-to-end code from raw data to Environmental Data Record (EDR) output. Estimated +1,000,000 lines of code

4. NPOESS Processes Direct Readout Lab Roadmap to NPP… and Beyond
