The Advanced Technology Behind Weather Satellite Instruments
One technology company is taking the lead when it comes to building the future of weather prediction. That company is L3Harris Technologies which is planning to develop, manufacture and test new weather satellite instruments, to provide even more precise images of the weather patterns.
The company’s Advanced Baseline Imagery comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s GOES East satellite. This technology made it possible to capture detailed snapshots of the Mississippi thunderstorms that generated many tornadoes on March 15. This display of technology’s power shows the importance and value of advancements in the field of atmospheric observation.
This journey of growth in technological innovation is set to mature even more. L3Harris Technologies is prepping to advance the creation, production, and trial of their weather satellite tools. This journey will unfurl in an all-new 9,290-square-meter facility, located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The new plant signifies progress, a step toward the future where automated manufacturing is at the forefront of creating more accurate and efficient satellite instruments.
