The NESDIS/StAR VIIRS Imagery and Visualization Team is responsible for the checkout/validation of Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) EDR Imagery from the NASA/NOAA Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) satellites. Currently, there are three VIIRS in orbit: JPSS-2 (NOAA-21), JPSS-1 (NOAA-20) and SNPP (Suomi-National Polar-orbiting Partnership). NOAA-20 leads SNPP by a half orbit, or ~50 minutes in the 1330 local-time sun-synchronous orbit, with NOAA-21 a quarter orbit (~25-minutes) between the two as it continues to under go post-launch testing. The VIIRS instrument collects visible and infrared imagery of the earth, providing global information about land, ocean, clouds, and cryosphere.
