  2. Introduction • 2012 was a year of great progress for GEO-CAPE • Documented NASA state of practice / readiness to use Hosted Payload (HPL) model • Completed mission risk analysis and made recommendations for Geo-Pathfinder • HQ accepted recommendation that future GEO-CAPE formulation studies focus only on distributed HPL mission implementation • The Earth Ventures Instrument program selected an instrument (TEMPO) that will do some GEO-CAPE atmospheric science • ESD acknowledged the impact of TEMPO on GEO-CAPE mission planning: “With the award of the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument as the first Earth Venture Instrument (EVI-1), a partial change of direction will be needed for the GEO-CAPE activities, as the TEMPO instrument will likely achieve a significant portion of the GEO-CAPE measurement objectives.” • ESD guidance for FY13 GEO-CAPE Task - 8: “Define instrument and measurement risks (and potential mitigation activities), including integration of science products across platforms and technology maturity.” • One of the 2013 GEO-CAPE activities will be a mission implementation study to update the GEO-CAPE atmospheric composition instrument suite in response to ESD guidance

  3. 2013 Instrument and Mission Risks Assessment Overview • The study objectives are to • Assess remaining GEO-CAPE capabilities based on TEMPO requirements and expected performance - The GEO-CAPE atmospheric composition instrument suite (ACIS) = TEMPO + GCIRS • Update GEO-CAPE Atmospheric science capabilities and implementation architecture including schedule requirements • Co-ordinate with TEMPO team and ASWG • Work with SEWG/ESTO on technology needs / recommendations / further work • The study needs to be completed by the end of March and results ready for ESD by early April • The risks were divided into two categories: • Instrument Development • Instrument Operations
