13. Description
The Metop meteorological forecasting spacecraft family has been in orbit for many years operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and forecast data is shared and downloaded at NOAA earth stations in collaboration with ESA under the Joint Polar System program. Eumetsat has contacted USN requesting support for de-orbit of the Metop-A spacecraft and testing for future LEOP of the Metop-SG series to be launched in 2022/2023 to replace Metop-A and other aging spacecraft in the series. USN is requesting a 180 day STA to support the Metop-A de-orbit and future LEOP ranging qualification testing using Metop-B and Metop-C. USN is requesting the SES-STA20210329-00586 STA remain valid until the commission has taken action on this 180 day deorbit request.
