NOAA-16

NOAA-16

NOAA-16 (designated NOAA-L before launch) is one of the NASA-provided TIROS series of weather forecasting satellite run by NOAA. It was launched on 21 September 2000, and is currently operational, in a sun-synchronous orbit, 849 km above the Earth, orbiting every 102 minutes. It hosts the AMSU, AVHRR and High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) instruments APT transmitter. NOAA-16 has the same suite of instruments as carried by NOAA-15 plus an SBUV/2 instrument as well.[1]

NOAA-16 APT is inoperable due to sensor degration since November 15, 2000 and High Resolution Picture Transmission is via STX-1 (1698 MHz) since November 9, 2010.[2]
