This mornings launch of NOAA’s newest weather satellite, the Joint Polar Satellite System-1, or JPSS-1, was scrubbed just before scheduled liftoff. Launch teams are working toward a next launch attempt on Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 4:47 a.m. EST.
JPSS-1 is part of the next generation of polar-orbiting satellites designed to enhance forecasters’ ability to predict severe weather and monitor a wide variety of critical Environmental Factors.
