LDCM History Landsat 7 launch on April 15, 1999 Release of LDCM Data Buy RFI - June, 1999 Earth Observing-1 satellite launch - Nov. 21, 2000 Advanced Land Imager (ALI) aboard Release of Data Buy Implementation Phase RFP on Jan. 06, 2003 In Sept. 2003, LDCM Data Buy solicitation cancelled Vendor failed to take an equity stake required to offer a true public-private partnership Gov’t accepted all the risk In December 2003, EOP established the Landsat/NextView Interagency Working Group (IWG) to study: Combining LDCM and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) NextView requirements USG owned/operated LDCM system Public/Private partnership for LDCM system Hosted LDCM payload on USG/Commercial satellites

LDCM History: 

LDCM History Memorandum from EOP/OSTP issued on Aug. 13, 2004 on Landsat Data Continuity Strategy Summarizes outcome of interagency discussions on continuity of Landsat data Departments of Defense, the Interior, Commerce, and NASA have agreed to: Transition Landsat measurements to an operational environment on NPOESS Plan to incorporate a Landsat imager on the first NPOESS spacecraft Further assess options to mitigate the risks to data continuity prior to the first NPOESS-Landsat mission, including a “bridge mission” Meeting with EOP/OSTP on Nov. 22-23, 2004 to provide LDCM Status Update Departments of Defense, the Interior, Commerce, and NASA directed to incorporate OLI onto NPOESS 2130 S/C No longer continue to pursue “bridge mission” OLI NPOESS accommodation study conducted between January and May of 2005 Included GSFC, IPO, NGST, USGS

LDCM History July 2005, NASA HQ met with EOP/OSTP to explain complexities of flying on NPOESS Dec. 2005, EOP/OSTP issued memorandum on Landsat Data Continuity Strategy Adjustment Landsat instrument no longer on NPOESS NASA to acquire single Landsat mission and deliver data to USGS USGS will operate Landsat and collect, process, distribute, and archive Landsat data Jan. 2006, Memorandum from NASA HQ on LDCM Procurement Strategy Procure a free-flyer spacecraft (Firm Fixed Price) Single prime mission contractor responsible for: Spacecraft Instrument Observatory I&T/Launch Site Support Mission Operations Element On-Orbit Sustaining Engineering

LDCM History: 

LDCM History Sept. 2006, LDCM Procurement Strategy Change Multiple contracts Operational Land Imager (OLI) Multi-spectral, moderate resolution (circa 30m), visible and near-infrared sensor capable of providing on average 400 Landsat scenes (177km x 170km) per day to US archive Spacecraft using Rapid Spacecraft Development Office (RSDO) catalog contract RSDO issued an “On-Ramp” to the RSDO Rapid II catalog in fall of 2006 to maximize competition for the LDCM spacecraft procurement Mission Operations Element (MOE). Mission scheduling (not to include long-term and daily image collection planning and prioritization) Command and control Long-term trending and analysis Flight dynamics capabilities

OLI Requirements : 

OLI Requirements OLI is a multi-spectral, moderate resolution (30m GSD), visible and near-infrared sensor capable of providing on average 400 Landsat scenes (185km x 180km) per day to US archive 4 visible bands (costal/aerosol, red, green, blue) 1 near-infrared (IR) band 2 shortwave IR bands 1 cirrus cloud detection band 1 panchromatic band at higher resolution (15m) for image sharpening OLI requirements are based on original LDCM data specification, therefore the sensor should be capable of providing data with the quality of previous Landsat VNIR/SWIR data
