Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)
Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)
Mission Details
JPSS is the Nation's new generation polar-orbiting operational environmental satellite system. As the backbone of the global observing system, JPSS polar satellites circle the Earth from pole to pole and cross the equator about 14 times daily in the afternoon orbit, providing full global coverage twice a day. JPSS delivers key observations for forecasting severe weather like hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards days in advance, and assessing environmental hazards such as droughts, forest fires, poor air quality, and harmful coastal waters.
LAUNCHED: JPSS launched on Nov 20, 2017, aboard a Delta II rocket.
