GeoXO
Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) is a collaborative NOAA and NASA program that will provide continuous imagery and data on Earth’s atmosphere, land and ocean for operational forecasts and warnings. NASA will build the satellites for NOAA.
OVERVIEW
The GeoXO mission will bring new and improved capabilities for short-term forecasts and warnings of severe weather and environmental hazards. GeoXO will supply essential information for public safety, protection of property, and efficient economic activity.. NOAA plans for GeoXO to begin operations in the early 2030s as the GOES-R Series satellites near the end of their operation lifetimes. GeoXO will operate into the 2050s.
Instruments and Capabilities
Planned GeoXO Observations
Visible and Infrared Imagery: Real-time, high-resolution visible and infrared imagery for monitoring Earth’s weather, oceans, and environment.
Hyperspectral Infrared Sounding: Real-time information about the vertical distribution of atmospheric moisture, winds and temperature for better numerical weather prediction and forecasts for short-term severe weather.
