This catalog will help with Cal/Val planning and promote agency coordination. A major interest of the OST-VC is the sustainability of critical Cal/Val elements.
(Update from June 2015 SIT Chair TagUp) Some progress has been made using Cal/Val plans defined for Jason-3 (launch August 8) and Sentinel-3A (launch ~1st October), but given the shifts in launch date ?encountered by these programs, the OST-VC will be in a better position to report in a few months.
