Abstract
With the first satellite in the $6.5‐billion U.S. National Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite System (NPOEES) scheduled for launch as early as 2008, some critics are concerned that planning efforts to manage and archive satellite data are lagging.Experts at a 24 July hearing of the House of Representatives science subcommittee on environment, technology, and standards called for more progress in managing data from NPOESS. The system is expected to produce more than 200 terabytes annually and also produce more types of data products than NOAAs existing Polar‐orbiting Operational Environmental Satellites (POES) data management system. By comparison, POES was designed to accommodate about 2 terabytes of data per year.
