A description is given of current National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) programs involving Landsat as well as the METSAT polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites. These include the use of NOAA satellites as data collection platforms and the use of NOAA satellite radiometers in monitoring meteorologic, oceanographic, hydrologic, and agricultural phenomena. Configuration of the next generation of NOAA satellite sensors and spacecraft is included. NOAA plans to continue both the geostationary and polar-orbiting spacecraft into the foreseeable future in essentially the present orbits but with added and improved instruments. A final section on research directions and results is included wherein research and development in quantitative satellite products from operational spacecraft, image interpretation, and other future satellite projects are outlined.
