Dates of Operation: May 21, 2007 - Present. Instruments: A/DCS, AMSU-A1, AMSU-A2, ASCAT, AVHRR, GOME-2, GRAS, HIRS, IASI, MHS, SARP-3, SARR and SEM. Orbit: Sun-synchronous orbit 09.30 mean local solar time (Equator crossing, descending node), morning satellite. Mission Duration: Expected to be operational for 4.5 to 5 years operational. The NOAA satellites are deployed in "afternoon" orbits and MetOp will take up service in a "morning" orbit. NOAA and EUMETSAT will operate and control their respective polar-orbiting satellites and ground segments. However, data collected by all the satellites will be shared and exchanged between NOAA and EUMETSAT. Under the Initial Joint Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System (IJPS) agreement between NOAA and EUMETSAT, both parties will cooperatively provide blind orbit coverage and emergency support for global data retrieval as well as for command and telemetry services.</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description><gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86832756-32CE-46E2-E040-0AC8C5AB43743" xlink:title="DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/OSO > Office of Satellite Operations, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce"/><gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8294BEE08B08359FE040AC8C5AB460D1" xlink:title="EUMETSAT > European Meteorological Satellite Organisation"><gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty><gmd:organisationName gco:nilReason="template"/><gmd:role><gmd:CI_RoleCode codeList="http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/metadata/published/xsd/schema/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml#CI_RoleCode" codeListValue="sponsor">sponsor</gmd:CI_RoleCode></gmd:role></gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty></gmi:sponsor><gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86D032BB-C502-8BFC-E040-0AC8C5AB42D97" xlink:title="IJPS > Initial Joint Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B88575F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="AMSU-A > Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B8AC75F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="ASCAT > Advanced Scatterometer"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B86475F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="AVHRR/3 > Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer/3"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B8AF75F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="GOME-2 > Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B88E75F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="HIRS/4 > High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder/4"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B87F75F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="MHS > Microwave Humidity Sounder"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B8CA75F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="GRAS > Global Navigation Satellite System Receiver for Atmospheric Sounding"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B86A75F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="IASI > Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86D032BB-C511-8BFC-E040-0AC8C5AB42D97" xlink:title="SEM-2 > Space Environment Monitor-2"/></gmi:MI_Platform>
