Northrop Grumman representatives will deliver three conference papers on a theme of global change, and the company will exhibit its key space technology capabilities including the National Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) as a fundamental contributor to global weather, climate and hazard monitoring.
The International Astronautical Congress is a major international space conference, which provides a focus for the space industry worldwide through the presentation of the latest ideas and current activities across a diverse range of space-related topics. It will be attended by more than 2,000 experts, including astronauts, space agencies, scientists, engineers and technology specialists.
"A strategic policy framework and mechanism for government and private sector engagement needs to be established to enable system-of-systems solutions for global change monitoring to evolve further," said Ron Birk, director of mission integration, civil space for business development for Northrop Grumman Space Technology. "This conference provides an important platform to broaden industry understanding to help ensure this can be achieved."
The three Northrop Grumman conference papers are:
"Towards Global Change Solutions: Establishing A Policy Framework for Earth Observations"; "NPOESS: Building Capacity in our Global Weather Satellite System"; and "A System-of-Systems Approach for Integrated Global Environmental Monitoring"
The inter-governmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is coordinating international efforts to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), which would link thousands of individual technological assets to monitor and forecast changes in the global environment and provide critical information needed to address important global economic, social and scientific challenges. This information will help policy-makers around the world make more informed decisions regarding climate, the environment, and a host of other economic and social issues that are affected by Earth and climate systems.
Northrop Grumman is a member of the Alliance for Earth Observations formed in 2004 to advance the private sector's involvement in the development, use and integration of Earth observations and information. The Alliance is releasing a policy statement in concert with the International Astronautical Congress on the value of engaging with the private sector for GEOSS.
The NPOESS, to be launched initially in 2013, will provide multiple sensors and satellites in two polar orbits to monitor more than half of 26 essential climate variables from space. The NPOESS will enable scientific data to be used faster with more frequent updates for improved forecasts and warnings. NPOESS Earth observation data will be available to over 120 nations for use in their environmental forecasting. Northrop Grumman is the prime contractor involved in the design, development and system integration of NPOESS.
