Spire Global has provided data to NOAA since 2016.
Hydrosat was awarded a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Tier 1 license for its thermal imaging system.
Earlier in the same year, NOAA awarded Spire Global an $8,000,000 contract to increase the number of radio occultation profiles provided from 3,000 to 5,500 for use in operational weather forecasts.
NOAA's Tier 2 classification applies to remote sensing systems offering data matched only by other U.S. systems and Tier 3 applies to systems seeking completely novel capabilities, and both Tier 2 and Tier 3 are subject to stricter regulatory constraints that make commercial or international sales more difficult.
NOAA funds, operates, and manages the GeoXO mission.
NOAA plans to begin operating three GeoXO satellites in the early 2030s with one satellite over the Eastern United States, one over the Western United States, and a third satellite over the central United States.
NOAA seeks improved imagery from the GeoXO constellation compared with the GOES-R Series.
Lockheed Martin was selected by NASA to further refine concepts for a lightning mapper instrument and the spacecraft bus for NOAA’s GeoXO weather satellites.
Maxar Space won a $5,000,000 contract to help define NOAA’s Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) Spacecraft Phase A Study.
GeoXO is NOAA’s next-generation geostationary weather satellite program supported by NASA.
Lockheed Martin will apply predictive analytics to help interpret GeoXO lightning data and build on software used to interpret data from NOAA’s GOES-R series.
The results of the GeoXO Spacecraft Phase A Study will help NASA and NOAA establish requirements for GeoXO spacecraft development contracts scheduled to be awarded in 2024.
The first GeoXO launch is planned for the early 2030s and the program is intended to maintain and advance NOAA’s geostationary observations through 2055.
Lockheed Martin won a $5,000,000 contract to help define NOAA’s Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) Spacecraft Phase A Study.
NASA awarded the GeoXO Spacecraft Phase A Study contracts on behalf of NOAA on 2022-07-26.
NASA will manage development of the GeoXO satellites and will launch them for NOAA, and NOAA will operate the satellites and deliver data to users worldwide.
NOAA expanded its monitoring with Planet and currently observes a region of approximately 35,000 square kilometers in the Gulf of Mexico.
In 2018 NOAA engaged Planet to obtain near-daily imagery to provide a perspective of change around the leaking oil platform.
Upon completion and evaluation, successful CWDP studies may lead to sustained commercial data purchases by NOAA’s Commercial Data Program to support NOAA’s operational forecasting endeavors.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded contracts to GeoOptics, PlanetIQ, and Spire Global to provide space weather data as part of a pilot program to test the value of commercial observations.
