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.

L3Harris Technologies’ Cross-Track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) launched aboard NOAA’s Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) weather satellite.
The CrIS instrument onboard JPSS-2 orbits the Earth 14 times a day and gathers hyperspectral infrared content that aids NOAA in nowcasting and global long-term forecasts.
GeoOptics has supplied radio occultation data to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for weather forecasts since 2020.
MyRadar's fire detection app is designed to improve temporal and spatial coverage compared with NASA and NOAA imagery and to deliver billions of alerts per year to users.
GeoOptics will process radio occultation data for NASA to a higher degree of accuracy than the data the company provides to NOAA for weather forecasting.
MyRadar received a $150,000 Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in late October to test the feasibility of wildfire detection and mitigation technology.
MyRadar is expanding from weather forecasts to wildfire detection and mitigation with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
JPSS-1, also known as NOAA-20, launched in 2017.
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying the Joint Polar Satellite System-2 mission for NOAA and NASA and NASA’s LOFTID lifted off on 2022-11-10 at 1:49 a.m. PST from Space Launch Complex-3 at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
JPSS-2 will be renamed NOAA-21 when it enters service for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
NOAA-21 (JPSS-2) will join NOAA-20 and Suomi NPP in providing weather data from polar orbit.
JPSS-1 was built by Ball Aerospace, launched in 2017, and operates in service as NOAA-20.
JPSS-2 is the second of four planned polar-orbiting weather satellites in the Joint Polar Satellite System program to provide weather data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Spire Global was awarded a NOAA contract to develop a sensor with hyperspectral microwave sensing technology on a 16U satellite to collect near real-time weather observations and improve measurements.
