NOAA’s Near Earth Orbit Network (NEON) Program will develop future low Earth orbit (LEO) environmental satellites. Low and medium Earth observations.
The second NEON project, Series One, will fly the program’s first new instrument, the Sounder for Microwave-Based Applications . SMBA will serve as the backbone microwave sounder for the NEON Program.Microwave sounders, like the ATMS and SMBA instruments, will be the first NEON instruments launched, because they provide the highest-impact input data to weather forecast models.
Additional instruments will later be included in future NEON projects to provide a variety of critical environmental observationsIn addition to including satellites that host Earth-observing instruments, the NEON program will also include ground services, such as command and control, data processing and product distribution. The ground services will incorporate commercial capabilities and enterprise ground system capabilities.
