CERES Authorized for Flight on NPP
NASA HQ authorized multi-phase study in 2007 toassess feasibility of adding CERES back on NPP
•Phase 1: Initial Feasibility Study (February – May 2007)– Passed the sanity test– Recommended progression to Phase 2
•Phase 2: Detailed Analysis and Engineering design(June 1, 2007 – September 14, 2007)
– Identified instrument, spacecraft & ground systemmodifications
– No technical or schedule barriers identified– Results indicated CERES could be accommodated without
impacting Sept. 2009 (now 6/10) Launch Readiness Date
•Phase 3: Implement CERES Accommodation on NPP(October 15, 2007 – July 2008)

CERES FM5 Schedule
• Delivery/on-the-hook date to NPP Spacecraft is October 31, 2008
• NPP Launch Readiness Date is currently June 2, 2010
– Initial NPP launch date was mid-2006
• CERES FM5 schedule is tough however,
– We’ve had a “jump start” contract in place that’s allowed work on critical path
areas bridging delay in ATP
– Initiated a unilateral modification of the CERES contract (bilateral agreement with
NTE), signed by LaRC Center Director on 2/5/08, allowing NGST to move forward
while final contract negotiations take place.

What is the impact of 8-years of storage?
• Review of Electronic parts for age and radiation environment
- NPP Orbit provides different radiation environment
- Parts Review underway
- No significant concerns identified
• Limited Life articles
- Bearing lubrication
- N2 purged storage environment was optimal
- No concern for limiting lifetime
- Onboard Calibration lamps
- No known mechanisms to reduce life expectancy
• Address on-orbit anomalies from Terra/Aqua
- FM4 SW channel Sensor Electronics Assembly failure
- Tiger Team reconstituted
- 90 years of operational lifetime on circuit with one failure
- Awaiting Recommendation
Key Concerns are being addressed :

Goal : characterize sensor radiometric stability by operational mode
- Characterize trends by Xtrack and RAPS mode, not by sensor
Methodology
Sort Clear Ocean (ClrOcn) and Deep Convective Cloud (DCC)unfiltered
SW radiance measurements into Angular bins (I.e. VZA and RAZ)
Determine monthly mean SW measurements for each bin
Calculate deseasonalized anomalies for each time series
Trends in ClrOCn and DCC deseasonalized anomalies define drops in
spectral thoughput at 0.4 and 0.65 microns respectively
DCC directly
ClrOCn, relative trend of RAPS to Xtrack measurements

New Approach based upon operational mode
Assumptions:
- Degradation is separable by operational mode
- SWICS Level 1 sensor response Indicates gain change exclusively
- SWICS Lamps are stable
- Temporal trends are linear in time - sufficient to remove gross trends
- Spectral change is isolated to be below 1-micron
- DCC provides an absolute stability metric
- ClrOcn provides a relative stability metric (RAPS relative to Xtrack)
- Trends are independent of VZA, RAZ bin used
- 0.4 micron is the weighted mean wavelength for Clear Ocean spectra
- 0.65 micron is the weighted mean wavelength for Deep Convective Clouds
