Current/Future Weather Satellite Programs

The SSSP co-chairs conducted a survey of satellite operators who currently distribute or plan to distribute global (and regional) polar satellite observations and related products and datasets. Feedback was good, thank you. We kindly request the satellite agencies who still have not responded to provide the requested information using the survey template as a guide.

We have organized the information from the survey into the categories below. Each category page provides additional links where you can find the information we requested, mainly from international space agencies and satellite data providers.

• space & satellite agencies
• description of current and planned satellite programs within the next few (3) years,
• description of main associated infrared, microwave and imager instruments
• associated global and local data access protocols,
• available pre-launch and validation datasets, and
• plans for scientific packages for ingesting/processing global and local observations.
• WMO Space Program
