| Abstract |
NPOESS is the next generation operational US polar-orbiting environmental satellite system under development, replacing the current generation POES and DMSP satellite constellations. The objective of the NPOESS program is to provide a single, national polar-orbiting remote-sensing capability for meteorological, oceanographic, climatic and space environmental data that will satisfy the operational demands of both the US civilian and military communities.
