NASA launches weather satellite designed to help forecast droughts, forest fires
NASA on Saturday launched a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta II rocket carrying a Joint Polar Satellite System-1 satellite, or JPSS-1, the first in a series of next-generation satellites that NASA said will help provide enhanced accuracy in forecasting environmental events such as weather, forest fires and droughts.
The satellite was launched for the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Southern California.
NASA said on its website that the series of satellites are designed to "give environmental experts more accurate warnings in advance of hurricanes, tornadoes and blizzards."
