L3Harris Technologies<\/strong> Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) onboard NOAA\u2019s newest weather satellite captured its first image since launching into space in late June, representing a significant milestone prior to reaching full operational status. The new, full disk GeoColor image was captured Aug. 30, 2024.<\/p>\n The ABI is the primary instrument for NOAA\u2019s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-19 (GOES-19), the fourth and final satellite in the GOES-R Series. ABI\u2019s high-resolution imaging technology provides the ability to rapidly and accurately detect and track hazards including severe thunderstorms, wildfires and hurricanes.<\/p>\n \u201cSince its first launch in 2016, our ABI has been providing NOAA meteorologists with world-class imaging capabilities enabling warning of hazardous weather systems across the entire Western Hemisphere<\/em>,\u201d said <\/strong>Ed Zoiss<\/strong>, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris.<\/strong> \u201cAs we celebrate this milestone, L3Harris remains committed to supporting ABI on-orbit and future NOAA programs that will provide critical, real-time weather data to citizens for decades to come<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n GOES-19 is part of a global ring of satellites that includes seven L3Harris ABI-class instruments \u2013 four for NOAA, two for Japan and one for South Korea. L3Harris is also developing the Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) Imager (GXI), NOAA\u2019s next-generation geostationary imager that will advance human understanding of environmental threats with more precise observations of the environment beginning in 2032 and operating into the 2050s. The company is also providing a GXI-class Imager and an L3Harris-developed sounder instrument for Japan\u2019s next-generation Himawari-10 mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L3Harris Technologies Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) onboard NOAA\u2019s newest weather satellite captured its first image since launching into space in late June, representing a significant milestone prior to reaching full operational status.
