Why NASA is launching a new polar satellite
JPSS-2 will join other satellites in a polar orbit, keeping track of weather conditions around the world. A new Earth observation satellite will launch into space, where it will help scientists forecast the weather and keep an eye on increasingly common extreme weather events. The satellite, called Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2), is part of a global observation system and a product of a partnership between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
