Multi-mission support for environmental missions

The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) Common Ground System supports the latest generation of U.S., European and Japanese polar-orbiting satellites designed to monitor global environmental conditions and collect and disseminate data related to weather, atmosphere and oceans.

The JPSS Common Ground System

The JPSS Common Ground System (CGS) is a flexible, cost-effective global system designed to support current and future weather and environmental sensing satellite missions. Since being deployed for the joint NOAA/NASA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) in 2011 and JPSS-1, now NOAA-20, in 2017. The JPSS CGS has provided unprecedented global observation capabilities for multiple missions.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
