Joint Polar Orbiting Weather Satellites

Joint Polar Orbiting Weather Satellites

As part of the Your Place In Space initiative, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) invites you to explore their space-inspired K-12 STEM resources on its agency website. We hope you find helpful materials that equip and empower your students to discover, explore, and create their place in space! 

The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) provides STEM activities and lessons to teach K-12 students and the general public about how and why polar-orbiting weather satellites observe Earth and its atmosphere.
