=== JPSS-3 and 4 === JPSS or Joint Polar Satellite systems are expected to launch in 2027. This project will be anΒ intergovernmental collaboration between NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and will observe a new generation of Polar Orbiting environmental satellites. Crucially, these polar orbiting satellites are non-geosynchronous meaning these two satellites will have an inclination angle of close to 90 degrees to the equator. Crucially this project is continuing and is the third and fourth satellite in the JPSS series. The payload for this type of satellite will include Visible Infrared imaging Radiometer, Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder and Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite. The data collected by these variety of instruments will included numerical weather prediction to be used for modelling and forecast prediction.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Platnick |first=Steven |title=Future Missions Earth Observing System |url=https://eospso.nasa.gov/future-missions |website=NASA's Earth Observing System}}</ref>
