Definition
- NOAA 18 continues the fourth-generation of operational, polar orbiting, meteorological satellite series (NOAA K-N) operated by the National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA 18 also continues the series of Advanced TIROS-N (ATN) spacecraft begun with the launch of NOAA 8 (NOAA-E) in 1983 but with additional new and improved instrumentation over the NOAA A-J series and a new launch vehicle (Titan II). NOAA 18 will be in an afternoon equator-crossing orbit and is intended to replace NOAA 17 as the prime afternoon spacecraft.
