Summary

Description
English: Construction of the R-3 antenna lower equipment room at the Consolidated Backup (CBU) facility in Fairmont, West Virginia, is shown. The CBU will support contingency operations and perform all of the critical functions of the primary ground stations, NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) and Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS), through the production and distribution of life and property products. The CBU will provide product generation for all Key Performance Parameters (KPPs). The CBU will also serve as a backup during system/equipment testing or maintenance. Three new 16.4-meter antennas are under construction at the CBU. They are designed to withstand sustained winds of 110 mph (Category 2 hurricane) and survive (in a stowed position) gusts of up to 150 mph (Category 4 hurricane). These antennas will be compatible with existing GOES satellites and will operate continuously for the life of the GOES-R series.
