Status Reviews (MSRs) to assess the status of each of the programs, projects and instruments assigned to
the Center. GOES-R Program and Projects will report to the CMC. Reports include; preparing and
presenting the MSR briefings, as well as highlighting significant items of progress, issues, risks, metrics,
