The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a U.S. government agency focused on science-based services and environmental intelligence. Within the space industry, NOAA plays a vital role in monitoring and forecasting space weather through its Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) and the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). NOAA operates a network of satellites, including the GOES and DSCOVR, to track solar activity and its potential impacts on Earth, providing alerts and warnings to various sectors like satellite operations, power grids, and communication systems. NOAA collaborates with NASA and commercial partners on space weather programs like the Space Weather Next program, ensuring continuous space-based observations.

Raytheon has been awarded a four-year, $80,000,000 task order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to develop and optimize the nation’s water resources prediction capabilities.
With this award, Raytheon will provide capabilities that support NOAA and the National Weather Service’s three main sectors of the weather, water, and climate enterprise.
The U.S. Space Force accepted transfer of a second geostationary weather satellite from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to extend persistent weather coverage of the Indian Ocean region until the 2030 timeframe.
The Space Force uses a residual NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite to collect cloud imagery and perform environmental reconnaissance over the Indian Ocean region.
After NOAA’s new GOES-18 became operational in January 2023 and congressional approval for the transfer was received in June, the Space Force accepted GOES-15 and re-designated the satellite EWS-G2.
The U.S. Space Force accepted the transfer of a second geostationary weather satellite from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to extend persistent weather coverage of the Indian Ocean region until the 2030 timeframe.
The Space Force uses a residual NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) to collect cloud imagery and perform environmental reconnaissance over the Indian Ocean region as part of the EWS-G mission.
The first EWS-G spacecraft transferred from NOAA, referred to as EWS-G1, has performed its role since September 2020.
