Ground Systems/Operations — “Early Convergence” of the DMSP and POES satellite operations occurred in 1998, by consolidating DMSP and POES operations at the NOAA SOCC in Suitland, Md., and establishing a backup satellite operations control facility at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. Relocation of DMSP operations to the same site as other NOAA satellite operations and closure of two DMSP satellite control facilities resulted in combined savings in FY 1996-FY 1998 of about $50 million. Additional annual savings of about $8 million in personnel costs have been realized through the reduction from nearly 250 USAF operators at the former DMSP operations centers to only about 50 civilian NOAA operators at the Suitland SOCC. Further cost savings will be realized as the existing DMSP and POES programs are more fully integrated during the transition to NPOESS.
