Description:The NOAA-20 (aka JPSS-1) satellite was successfully launched on November 18, 2017 as the first in the JPSS satellite series, and a follow-on to the Suomi NPP satellite mission. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard is a major Earth observing instrument with 22 spectral bands covering the 0.41um to 12.5 μm spectral range with spatial resolutions of 375 and 750 meters for the imaging and radiometric bands respectively. Since the VIIRS nadir and cryocooler doors were opened on December 13, 2017, and January 3, 2018 respectively, the instrument has been performing well and producing high quality data. The VIIRS Sensor Data Record (SDR) team has been supporting the postlaunch tests and extensive calibration/validation to ensure radiometric, spectral, and spatial performance.
