Summary

[edit]
Description
English: NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's (NOAA) Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) satellite arrives to the Astrotech processing facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB) in California on Aug. 19, 2022. JPSS-2 was shipped from the Northrop Grumman facility in Gilbert, Arizona, where it was built and tested. JPSS-2 is the third satellite in the Joint Polar Satellite System series. It is scheduled to lift off from VSFB on Nov. 1 from Space Launch Complex-3 East. JPSS-2 will scan the globe as it orbits from the North to the South Pole, crossing the equator 14 times a day. From 512 miles above Earth, it will capture data that inform weather forecasts, extreme weather events, and climate change. JPSS-2’s instruments will collect observations of the land, oceans, cryosphere, and atmosphere, as well as provide information about the atmosphere including temperature and moisture. Launching as a secondary payload to JPSS-2 is NASA’s Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID), dedicated to the memory of Bernard Kutter. LOFTID is a demonstration of a hypersonic inflatable aerodynamic decelerator, or aeroshell, technology that could one day help land humans on Mars.
