The 1,200 kg satellite, one of several in the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, will provide terrestrial and space weather data from a near-polar, Sun-synchronous, 830 km altitude orbit. The DMSP satellites monitor the meteorological, oceanographic and solar-terrestrial physics environments. The primary weather sensor on DMSP is the Operational Linescan System, which provides continuous visual and infrared imagery of cloud cover. Additional satellite sensors measure atmospheric vertical profiles of moisture and temperature. DMSP satellites also measure space environmental parameters such as local charged particles and electromagnetic fields.</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description><gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86832756-32DD-46E2-E040-0AC8C5AB43743" xlink:title="DOD/SMC/DMSP > Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, SMC, U.S. Department of Defense"/><gmi:instrument gco:nilReason="missing"/></gmi:MI_Platform>
