NOAA-17 was originally designated NOAA-M and launched in June 2002.
NOAA-17 was designed to operate for three years but served in a primary or backup role for nearly 11 years until NOAA decommissioned it in April 2013.
When NOAA decommissioned NOAA-17 in 2013, NOAA performed a deactivation process that included disconnecting the spacecraft batteries, opening thruster valves, and turning off its transmitters.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration granted Umbra a license in 2018 to offer 25-centimeter resolution from satellites in 515-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

The NOAA SBIR Phase I research began in 2020 and expanded the potential sources of satellite imagery for the Alaskan coast.
L3Harris was selected in February 2021 to develop and deploy the ground system command and control for NOAA’s Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) program.
L3Harris delivered the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) instrument for NOAA’s Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) in January 2021.
NOAA arranged the Argos-4 hosted payload launch through the Hosted Payload Solutions contract vehicle managed by the U.S. Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center.
The U.S. Space Force does not operate and is not developing capabilities specifically to monitor climate change and will continue to work with NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on weather surveillance needs.
The contract to launch the Argos-4 payload was awarded to General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems by the U.S. Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center under a Hosted Payload Solutions delivery order on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
In November 2020, NOAA placed a first order directing GeoOptics and Spire Global to each provide 500 daily radio occultation soundings for 30 days.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced plans on 19 February to dramatically expand the number of daily radio occultation soundings it acquires from commercial satellites operated by GeoOptics.
Under the recent order, NOAA is directing GeoOptics to supply 1,300 daily radio occultation soundings from March to September.
In November 2020, NOAA awarded two-year indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contracts to GeoOptics and Spire Global with a combined ceiling of $23,000,000.
A correction on 2021-02-19 noted that the latest NOAA delivery order calls for GeoOptics alone to supply 1,300 daily radio occultations.
NOAA’s first delivery order directed GeoOptics and Spire Global each to provide 500 daily radio occultation soundings for 30 days.
Under the latest delivery order, NOAA is directing GeoOptics to supply 1,300 daily radio occultation soundings from March to September.
NOAA awarded two-year indefinite delivery–indefinite quantity contracts in November to GeoOptics and Spire Global with a combined ceiling of $23,000,000.
