A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This chapter focuses on the evolution of the U.S. meteorological satellite program. We will explore the historical and complementary roles of NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Defense in developing technologies and analyses, as well as the use of data from meteorological satellites. NASA and NOAA have a long history of cooperation in developing spacecraft. An agreement between the two agencies, originally signed in 1973, gives NOAA responsibility for operating the environmental systems and requires NASA to fund development of new systems and to manage research satellite systems.
