Near Earth Orbit Network (NEON) Program

NOAA program developing future low-Earth-orbit environmental satellites to provide resilient, frequent global observations for weather forecasting, environmental monitoring, climate records, and public safety. NEON will supplement and eventually replace the Joint Polar Satellite System, with NASA managing satellite development and launches for NOAA.
