17 GRB Resources and Documentation Community Satellite Processing Package (CSPP) GRB Prototype 0.1 Release Prototype release of the CSPP Geo GRB software that will allow Direct Broadcast users to process GOES Rebroadcast (GRB) data received on their antennas from the GOES-R satellite, after it is launched in The main functionality included in this release is to ingest a simulated GRB data stream, recover Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 1 and Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) Level 2 data payloads, reconstruct the datasets, and write output to mission-standard NetCDF files. Optionally, quick look images can be generated from the ABI radiances. Later releases will add support for recovering data from the remaining GOES-R instruments: SUVI, EXIS, MAG and SEISS. This software is supported on 64-bit Centos6-compatible Linux platforms. Publicly available for download (and free to use) at: CGMS-43-NOAA-WP-03 Slide: 17

18 Details of the GRB Dual Polarized Signal LHCP: L1b products from ABI 0.64 um band and 6 IR bands (3.9, 6.185, 7.34, 11.2, 12.3, and 13.3 um) RHCP: L1b products from ABI bands 0.47, 0.865, 1.378, 1.61, 2.25, 6.95, 8.5, 9.6 and 10.35um, L2+ GLM, L1b SUVI, L1b EXIS, L1b SEISS, and L1b Magnetometer products Ensures load balanced utilization of the two circular polarizations, allowing users to receive all GRB products with a dual-polarized system (both LHCP and RHCP), and allowing users flexibility to receive GOES Imager legacy channels with a single polarized system (LHCP only). CGMS-43-NOAA-WP-03 Slide: 18

19 Details of the GRB Dual Polarized Signal Reception of the GRB data requires a fixed dish antenna Dual feed horns connected to 2 Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs) The LNA outputs are connected to RF/IF down-converters RF/IF down-converters connected to DVB-S2 capable receivers The GRB downlink center frequency of MHz requires an antenna G/T of 15.2 db/k for worst-case locations. This equates to a 4.5 meter dish with a system noise temperature of 120K. Most CONUS locations are anticipated to have acceptable performance with a 3.8 meter dish. You will need a new receive system from antenna to computer. CGMS-43-NOAA-WP-03 Slide: 19
