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.

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.

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).

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.

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).

Mar 20, 2021 · WASHINGTON — A polar-orbiting weather satellite decommissioned nearly eight years ago has broken up, adding to the growing debris population in a key orbit. The Space Force’s 18th Space Control...

Jan 1, 2010 · Both satellites orbit the Earth 14.1 times per day. There are two datasets that show the NOAA POES, which are NOAA-17 and NOAA-18. This dataset follows the path of NOAA-17, the morning satellite, and displays the IR data that the satellite collects over a 13 hour period on February 14, 2007.

NOAA-17 Overview •Polar weather satellite •Launched on 6/24/2002 to approx. 800 km Sun-synch •Very similar to DMSP Block 5D3 design •Mass is 1430 kg in orbit •Operated nominally until 2013, when it was passivated – 4.98 kg hydrazine remained after isolation – Nitrogen cold-gas propulsion system was nominally depleted before ...
