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.

Fugro has completed fieldwork on a hydrographic survey project for the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to update nautical charts off the northern coast of Unimak Island, Alaska.
Fugro is helping NOAA address data deficiencies with new, high-resolution bathymetry over five sites totaling approximately 1700 km2.
Since the mid-1970s, Fugro has been successfully mapping the seafloor in Alaska, including nautical charting updates for NOAA that began in 1998.
In 2020, NOAA selected GeoOptics to lead an end-to-end design study for NOAA’s next-generation low-orbiting weather satellite system planned to come online later this decade, building in part on radio occultation and GNSS-R technologies.
In February 2021, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration selected GeoOptics to provide the first commercial satellite data to be included in NOAA’s operational forecasts.
CICERO-2 is designed to provide NOAA climate and weather monitoring observations prioritized by the NOAA Space Platform Requirements Working Group (SPRWG) and to support Defense Department satellite weather data requirements.
