The JPSS program, a joint effort between NOAA and NASA, aims to monitor Earth’s environment, aiding in weather and climate predictions.

To date, three JPSS satellites have launched successfully, with JPSS-4 joining the constellation as the fourth. A fifth satellite, JPSS-3, is set for launch in 2032, Space.com has reported.
