NOAA-17, also known as NOAA-M before launch, was an operational, polar orbiting, weather satellite series (NOAA K-N) operated by the National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

3 days ago · Track NOAA 17 now! Polar-orbiting satellite; long-range weather forecasting; atmospheric and weather monitoring instruments; data stored on-board and transmitted over Fairbanks, AK and Wallops Island, VA. Technical details about the NOAA 17 (2002-032A or NORAD 27453) satellite.

Apr 10, 2013 · After nearly 11 years of helping the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predict weather and climate patterns and save lives in search and rescue operations, NOAA announced today it has turned off the NOAA-17 Polar-Orbiting Environmental Satellite (POES).

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - 17 | 3rd flight unit of NOAA 5th generation. Main mission: operational meteorology. Significant contribution to atmospheric chemistry and space weather.

Mar 22, 2021 · The satellite, dubbed NOAA-17 after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that operated it, launched in 2002 and was decommissioned in 2013 after its instruments began to fail.

Oct 17, 2023 · The NOAA-17 weather satellite operated in polar orbit near 800 km from 2002 until it was decommissioned in April 2013. The spacecraft broke up almost eight years later in March 2021 producing about 100 trackable objects.

Jul 17, 2020 · The NOAA-17 spacecraft broke up on 10 March 2021 producing about 100 trackable objects. This follows the break-ups of NOAA-16, DMSP F11, and DMSP F13 which also produced between 80 and 500 trackable objects.

A summary of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - 17 (NOAA-17) Earth observation satellite mission from Committee on Earth Observing Satellites (CEOS). Mission status: mission complete, was launched on 24 June 2002, and ended on 10 April 2013.

The NOAA-17 spacecraft broke up on 10 March 2021 producing about 100 trackable objects. This follows the breakups of NOAA-16, DMSP F11, and DMSP F13 which also produced between 80 and 500 trackable objects. An investigation was made in order to determine the cause of the NOAA-17 breakup

Jun 24, 2002 · NOAA 17 continued the fourth-generation of operational, polar orbiting, meteorological satellite series (NOAA K-N) operated by the National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
