NSPS
NSPS stands for the National System of Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites. It is a network of U.S. weather and environmental satellites that orbit Earth from north to south, continuously collecting data on the atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice. This information helps monitor weather patterns, track storms, and provide critical data for climate research and environmental management. Managed by NOAA and NASA, the NSPS ensures reliable, real-time observations that support weather forecasting, disaster response, and scientific understanding of Earth's environment.
