Wikipedia, Weather satellite operated by NOAA as part of its National Operational Environmental Satellite System. NOAA’s mission is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and to conserve and manage our coastal and marine resources.
