The National Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) is a collaborative program between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Department of Defense (DOD). It is designed to provide critical environmental data from polar-orbiting satellites, enhancing weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and disaster management. NPOESS aims to improve our understanding of the Earth's environment and contribute to the accuracy of predictive models by integrating advanced sensors and technologies to monitor atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial conditions.
