An Overview of Meteorological Satellites
Accurate weather forecasts have a direct bearing on military operations and commercial enterprises. Aerospace has played an integral role in helping to develop and enhance U.S. meteorological satellite systems.
Overview and History of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program
Aerospace support for the military's weather satellite program was initially limited—but increasing involvement over the years has helped the system achieve remarkable capability and reliability.
The Near Real Time Processing Effort
The Aerospace Corporation played a key role in helping NASA provide data from environmental research satellites to operational weather organizations. These efforts have made a significant contribution to military and civil programs for monitoring global weather and climate.
The NPOESS Preparatory Project: Architecture and Prototype Studies
Aerospace helped NASA develop a system segment architecture for the NPOESS Preparatory Project using C4ISR as well as an advanced ground system prototype design using grid computing technology.
Space Weather and the Upper Atmosphere
Aerospace researchers have been helping to develop satellite-based instruments for studying the outer reaches of the atmosphere.
NOAA's Move Toward an Enterprise Architecture
The Aerospace Corporation's technical expertise has been critical in helping NOAA develop a comprehensive system for managing the collection, processing, and transmission of environmental data.
Going the Distance: GOES-R and the Future of U.S. Geostationary Environmental Satellites
The next generation of geostationary environmental satellites, GOES-R, represents a significant technological advancement in terms of the quality and quantity of meteorological and environmental data. Aerospace is supporting all aspects of this program, including acquisition, instruments, ground systems, communications, and architectural studies.
