Two other JPSS spacecraft already study Earth from that orbit, circling the globe 14 times every 24 hours and fully surveying the planet twice a day.
In a prelaunch press briefing held on Tuesday , Jordan Gerth, meteorologist and satellite scientist for NOAA's National Weather Service, explained that JPSS-2's contributions, while global in scope, also have very localized applications.
