NOAA Satellite Partnerships

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) establishes and maintains partnerships with United States government agencies and with foreign government agencies and consortia to build, launch, and operate environmental satellites that meet NOAA requirements to monitor the Earth's environment. This presentation will provide a current status and plans for NOAA satellite partnership missions. It will discuss the Jason altimetry satellite program partnership, the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) L-1 mission partnership, and the Global Navigation Satellite System for Radio Occultation. It will also highlight NOAA's involvement in domestic missions, such as the Global Precipitation Mission and the Soil Moisture Active / Passive Mission. Other emerging partnership opportunities may also be presented.
