New Technologies Improve Weather Satellites
Nearly every time you flip on the television to check out your local forecast, you’ll likely be shown satellite data.
Having a birds eye view is critical when forecasting weather and new technologies have greatly improved satellite products.
One satellite in particular that has seen improvements are GOES satellites. These are Geo-stationary satellites meaning they remain stationary in space.
Companies like Exelis, provide the instrument panels for these satellites which make it possible for them to read different light spectrum and take pictures of clouds in the earths atmosphere.
New improvements from Exelis have allow for much faster data and higher resolution pictures.
