; and (2) obtain enhanced space weather observations, as practicable, to advance forecasting and prediction capability, as informed by the Integrated Strategy in section 60602. (b) Sustaining baseline space-Based observational capabilities (1) The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall, in cooperation with the European Space Agency and other international and interagency partners, maintain operations of the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (referred to in this section as SOHO/LASCO ) for as long as the satellite continues to deliver quality observations. (2) The Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall prioritize the reception of SOHO/LASCO data. (3) The Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shall maintain current space-based observational assets including but not limited to the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (referred to in this section as GOES ) system, and the Deep Space Climate Observatory (referred to in this section as DSCOVR ). (c) Back-Up space-Based observational capability The Administrators of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, shall work with Federal and international partners in order to secure reliable backup capability for near real-time coronal mass ejection imagery, solar wind, solar imaging, coronal imagery, and other relevant observations required to provide space weather forecasts. (d) Sustaining ground-Based observational capability The Director of the National Science Foundation, the Director of the United States Geological Survey, the Secretary of the Air Force, and, where practicable in support of the Air Force, the Secretary of the Navy shall each— (1) maintain and improve ground-based observations of the Sun to help meet the needs identified in the User Survey from section 60601(e)(3)
