European satellites provide NOAA with observations east of GOES East.
NOAA’s future geostationary constellation may distribute many instruments across multiple observing points rather than host all instruments on a single GOES‑class platform.
NOAA will need new geostationary imagers around 2030 when the last two Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite‑R series spacecraft near the end of their expected lives.
NOAA is building an enterprise ground capability to manage data processing and common standards as it anticipates acquiring data from many more government and commercial sensors.
Himawari‑8 provides NOAA with observations from a vantage point west of GOES West.
Japan’s Himawari weather satellite observed the December fireball using sensors that Harris Corporation designed for NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) series constellation.
NOAA launched GOES-17 in 2018.
NOAA operated the GOES-17 ABI at 60 kelvin and adjusted detector channels to operate as high as the low 80s kelvin to lower cooling requirements.
JPSS-1 (now NOAA-20) and Suomi NPP provide two polar satellites with comparable performance for NOAA.
NOAA has developed combined products using GOES ABI and NOAA’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite to merge high resolution and timeliness for applications such as near-real-time flood maps.
NOAA, working with industry and international partners, mitigated problems with GOES-17’s Advanced Baseline Imager and obtained 97 percent of the data originally sought.
NOAA launched GOES-16 and the first spacecraft in the Joint Polar Satellite System in 2017.
GOES-16 and GOES-17 provide two next-generation geostationary satellites with comparable performance for NOAA.
The 2020 NOAA budget request included funding to purchase commercial weather data.
In North and South America, 28,000 sensors send data to NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Data Collection System in the 401 MHz band.
Congress did not sanction the merger of the JPSS and Polar Follow-on programs in its 2019 budget report and requested that NOAA provide a revised proposal identifying the cost and programmatic efficiencies from combining these programs along with its 2020 budget request.
As of 2019-03-27, NOAA had not released its 2020 budget justification document or Blue Book.
NOAA is preparing to launch six Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate-2 (COSMIC-2) radio occultation satellites in 2019 in a joint program with Taiwan.
The 2020 budget blueprint includes nearly $218,000,000 for the NOAA Satellite Observing System Architecture Study to plan for the generation of operational satellites beyond Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite‑R and the Joint Polar Satellite System.
NOAA's 2020 budget proposal includes $12,300,000 to test and evaluate innovative space-based solutions and partnerships in the polar and geostationary orbits, $3,000,000 to purchase weather data from commercial companies, and $5,000,000 to purchase data after successful testing.
