NOAA satellites have been monitoring Earth’s weather and environment since 1970, which also happened to be the year the first official Earth Day took place! Building upon early pioneering efforts by NASA and others, today’s advanced satellites provide critical information that feeds forecast models and warns us of severe weather and environmental hazards. NOAA operates two types of satellites that monitor the Earth: polar-orbiting and geostationary.
As we celebrate Earth Day, let us marvel at the wonders of our planet and reflect on our responsibility to cherish and protect it. Together, let’s ensure that the view from space remains a symbol of hope and inspiration for generations to come.
