Engaging Low Earth-Orbiting (LEO) Users to Build on Past Successes and to Set the Path for a Sustainable Future
Session ID#: 159022
Session Description:
The current LEO NOAA Satellite Program is the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS). The JPSS Program is part of a strong satellite heritage that began with the TIROS Program in April 1960. The LEO Program is built on an extensive foundation of scientific and international satellite partnerships. The satellite users and stakeholders have been a critical part of these LEO Programs’ successes. User input has guided the definition of the LEO Programs’ data and instrument architectures and the operational applications of these satellites’ products. This effective collaboration will be essential to establishing the path forward for future LEO constellations. Presentations in this session can focus on the LEO satellite heritage, international LEO partnerships, user applications, or the actions being taken to define future LEO missions.
