Description: NOAA maintains a Command and Data Acquisition Station in Fairbanks, Alaska (FCDAS), for the primary purpose of acquiring meteorological and environmental data from polar-orbiting satellites managed and/or operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This facility is NOAA's primary data acquisition (read-out) facility for its polar-orbiting operational environmental satellites. The FCDAS characteristics are a high northern latitude, elevation, and remote location that combine to set FCDAS aside as the premier data read-out site. The site is located about 13.5 miles northeast of Fairbanks, AK. FCDAS is a government-owned, contractor operated facility. As such, the contractor must provide personnel with the appropriate skills to install, operate, and repair highly specialized satellite ground station equipment. Contractor personnel also carry out essential services to ensure the site's buildings, vehicles, roads, and infrastructure are maintained in good condition in support of the satellite operations requirement. Administrative and other support duties include management; supervision; IT administration and security; shipping and receiving; property management; document development and management; environmental, safety, and health management; configuration management; performance and administrative reporting; and planning assistance for future missions and site upgrades. Security guard and housekeeping services are also required. The FCDAS control room must be staffed on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis, with a sufficient number of skilled personnel to operate and to maintain all FCDAS ground system equipment used in support of the assigned spacecraft for command, control, tracking, telemetry and science data reception, as well as transfer to appropriate data processing and distribution centers.
