The Department of Interior (DOI), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Earth Resources and Science (EROS) Center, located in Sioux Falls, SD, has a requirement for engineering and technical support services to develop and integrate the ground system elements for the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM). The USGS and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) share LDCM implementation responsibilities. NASA is procuring the spacecraft, instrument, launch services, and the mission operations element (a portion of the overall ground system) along with performing overall mission integration activities. The USGS is procuring and integrating the ground system (except the mission operations element) to include acquisition planning, ground networks and communications with the spacecraft, image processing, data storage and archive, and user data access and distribution capabilities. The ground system elements to be developed and integrated under this requirement, called the Landsat Data Continuity Contract (LDCC), are contained within two major segments, the Flight Operations Segment (FOS) and the Data Processing and Archive Segment (DPAS). The USGS also requires support in integrating the FOS and DPAS with the overall mission. The LDCM launch is currently targeted for a July 2011, and operations will follow launch and completion of a 90-day checkout period led by NASA. The USGS will operate the LDCM including the space and ground systems through contracts separate from the LDCC. Operated by the USGS, EROS is a national data reception, processing, archiving, distribution, and research facility for remotely sensed data and other forms of geographic information. The EROS Center maintains the world's largest collection of space and aircraft acquired imagery of the Earth, including over four million images acquired by Landsat and other civil satellites, and over eight million aerial photographs.
