Thursday morning's (Nov. 10) liftoff also lofted a heat-shield demonstrator that could help land heavy payloads on Mars down the road.
flew today in the rocket's most stripped-down configuration, without any solid rocket boosters. JPSS-2 and LOFTID were also housed in a 13-foot-wide payload fairing, the smallest available for an Atlas V.
"NOAA 20, Suomi-NPP, and soon JPSS-2 aid our meteorologists in meeting the National Weather Service mission for all Americans," Jordan Gerth, a meteorologist and satellite scientist for NOAA's National Weather Service, said during a prelaunch press briefing on Tuesday evening ."First, JPSS data is a major input into U.S. and international global numerical weather prediction modeling systems.
"The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite, or VIIRS instrument, provides imagery at a spatial resolution of 375 meters, or approximately a quarter mile, and enables the detection of thunderstorm features such as overshooting tops," Gerth said. Overshooting tops, he explained, can help determine the severity of a storm. VIIRS can also detect mesospheric gravity waves emanating from the center of tropical systems.
