Polar Operational Environmental Satellites
The
Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite
(
POES
) project operates a constellation of
weather satellites
in
polar orbits
around the Earth. It is a joint effort between the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) and the
European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites
(EUMETSAT). Spacecraft for the project are provided by
NASA
and the
European Space Agency
. NASA's
Goddard Space Flight Center
oversees the manufacture, integration and test of the NASA-provided
TIROS
satellites. On-orbit satellite operation of these is performed by NOAA's Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO). The POES constellation also includes an ESA-provided
MetOp
satellite operated by EUMETSAT.
