COWVR Tech Demo

Abstract

Air Force priority is to deliver an interim materiel solution to mitigate projected WindSat mission End of Life (EOL). In order to achieve this goal, Space and Missile Systems Center/Remote Sensing Systems Directorate (SMC/RS) is working with the Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) office to launch Compact Ocean Surface Wind Vector Radiometer (COWVR) technical demonstration payload, which would provide residual operational capability to address the immediate Gap 3 requirements, once on-orbit checkout is successfully completed.
