• Description:
  In 2017, the nation saw the launch of another next generation polar-
  
  orbiting satellite, NOAA-20. This launch – the second under the
  
  Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS), ensured that NOAA-20 along
  
  with the NOAA/NASA demonstration satellite, Suomi National
  
  Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) would provide even more
  
  data and products into weather prediction models around the world.
  
  Considered the backbone of the global observing system, data from
  
  polar-orbiting satellites are critical for forecasting weather three to
  
  seven days in advance and monitoring the global environment. JPSS
  
  provides critical environmental observations to support NOAA’s
  
  overarching mission to “understand and predict changes in weather,
  
  climate, oceans, and coasts.”
