CIMSS develops and successfully implements techniques and products for using geostationary and polar-orbiting weather satellite visible and thermal radiation observations to improve forecasts of severe storms, including tornadoes and tropical cyclones. CIMSS plays a major role in the transfer of new technology into operational practice.
[3] [4] Space Operations Command intends to include ECP sensors on all future satellites for space weather monitoring, starting from the early 2020s. [5] WSF-M was launched in April 2024 on a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base. [1] [2] WSF-M will be the first satellite in the Weather System Follow-on (WSF) program.
After experiencing several delays, the launch of the COSMIC satellite constellation atop a Minotaur launch vehicle from Vandenberg AFB occurred at 01:40 GMT, on 15 April 2006, despite heavy fog. [2] The satellites, which orbit at an altitude of 500 miles, required over a year to move into the correct positions to provide full global coverage.
