Suomi NPP is a satellite launched on November 10, 2011, as part of the NASA and NOAA joint mission. It is designed to monitor Earth's weather and climate by collecting data on atmospheric conditions, land, and ocean temperatures. The satellite carries advanced instruments that provide critical information for weather forecasting and climate research. The name "Suomi" honors Verner E. Suomi, a pioneer in satellite meteorology. Suomi NPP orbits the Earth approximately every 100 minutes, providing valuable data that helps scientists understand environmental changes and improve disaster response efforts. Its contributions are essential for both short-term weather predictions and long-term climate studies.
