A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites are mainly of two types: polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously) or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator ).
Earth observation satellite missions developed by the ESA as of 2019. Earth observation satellites are Earth-orbiting spacecraft with sensors used to collect imagery and measurements of the surface of the earth. These satellites are used to monitor short-term weather, long-term climate change, natural disasters.
The weather satellite lifted off aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 5:26 p.m. ET. The launch streamed live on NASA’s website .
The Defense Weather Satellite System (DWSS) [1] was a United States Department of Defense weather satellite system to have been built by Northrop Grumman Corporation [2] projected for launch in 2018. [3] In January 2012, the US Air Force cancelled the program. [4] It was replaced with the Weather System Follow-on Microwave (WSF-M). [5]
