Theres a saying that sometimes you should probably distance yourself from everything to see things clearly.
NOAAS geostationary satellites will do it orbiting 22,300 miles above the equator at speeds equal to Earths rotation.
Since our climate continues to change rapidly due to human activities, technology needs to be updated as well.
NOAAs GeoXO satellite system will expand observations of Earth that theGOES-R Seriescurrently provides from geostationary orbit.
We know GOES-R is mostly focused on what we think of as the weather mission.
This gives us really critical insights into ecosystem variability, function health and vulnerability.
GeoXO is set to launch in the early 2030s and operate into the 2050s.
That happened approximately 4 years before the launch of the first US satellite, Explorer-1.
People on the internet shared their excitement about NOAAs satellite systems
Thanks!
