NOAA Seeks Boost for Sat Programs Great and Small in 2015 Budget

摘要

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration requested a $165 million increase for its satellite division in 2015 to buy spare instruments for its polar-orbiting weather satellite program, speed up the launch of an international ocean topography mission and study whether to fly a climate sensor left over from a canceled civil-military program as a hosted payload. In all, NOAA is seeking $2.25 billion for its National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service next year.
