  Earth Observation/Remote Sensing
  
 
Space Technology delivers the big picture on global change. From orbiting space platforms to precision sensors, the company’s remote sensing systems measure short- and long-term variations on the planet, enhancing knowledge of global weather and environmental trends.

National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS)
NPOESS, the nation’s next-generation environmental monitoring satellite system, will serve civil, military and scientific communities with higher accuracy data than available before. A constellation of polar-orbiting spacecraft will gather global environmental information and speed it to weather forecasters, military commanders, civilian leaders and scientists worldwide.    Read More
Earth Observing System - Aqua
Most long-term environmental change slips into our lives unnoticed. Then comes the shock of recognition: the rainy season is longer, the trees are blooming earlier, what were once freak storms have become routine. What's going on here? When did this happen?    Read More
Earth Observing System - Aura
Earth's climate is regulated, in part, by atmospheric chemicals. The complex interactions of these gases, both naturally occurring or human-made, may be contributing to global change. Until we know the long-term effects of industrial emissions and such natural phenomena as volcanic eruptions, we can only guess their impact. We may presume damage where there is none; we may overlook subtle hazards.    Read More
Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES)
The most precisely calibrated radiometer ever to fly in space, the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument is measuring emitted and reflected radiative energy from the surface of the Earth and the atmosphere.    Read More
Hyperspectral Imaging
With the right tool - a Northrop Grumman hyperspectral imager - detailed pictures emerge: a vehicle hidden by camouflage, an area teeming with fish food, trees growing at different rates, fertile land under-utilized.    Read More
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES - R)
Northrop Grumman is a partner with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the current architecture study phase for the next series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites.    Read More
