Computer Operations Branch

The Computer Operations Branch (COB) operates the central satellite data processing center located in FB#4, third floor, wing 0, Suitland, Maryland.  This facility houses mainframe and distributed processors, ingest computer systems, central computer links, mass storage hardware, and supporting equipment such as facsimile, image recording, antennas, and communication devices.

The COB provides personnel to operate the Central Environmental Satellite Computer System (CEMSCS), which ingests, processes, and distributes satellite data on a 24-hour per day basis.  COB personnel coordinate, monitor, and control all of the unique processing facility activities in real-time and near real-time modes.  In addition, the COB provides systems-level programming and helpdesk support for all of the Product Systems.
