NPOESS Outreach Program

National Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite System The National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Outreach Program works on building strong relationships with NPOESS constituents and stakeholders. The Outreach Program is one of our most effective avenues for communicating information about NPOESS and gathering important feedback about NPOESS products, programs, and services. The NPOESS Outreach team proactively promotes NPOESS to the user community through open communication and reliable information. They inform the DOC, DoD, and NASA stakeholders, broader user community, and general public of expected operation benefits of NPOESS and contribution to GEOSS societal benefits.
