Enabling NOAA’s Observation and Data System for Maximum Societal Benefit

NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS) aspires to provide a truly integrated digital understanding of our Earth environment that can evolve quickly to meet changing user expectations by leveraging our own capabilities and partnerships. The organization is planning new systems with next-generation instruments launched on single payload satellites, embracing agile “new space” commercial processes. This work includes monitoring the ocean, atmosphere, and climate to improve productivity and health outcomes as well as reliably monitoring space weather to protect the nation’s valuable, vulnerable infrastructure. Through the secure and timely access to global environmental data and information, NESDIS operations seek to promote and protect the Nation’s environment, security, economy and quality of life. By enacting codevelopment with partners and users, NESDIS is pushing new boundaries with its products, service delivery, and in enabling integrated environmental information for decision makers and communities.
