L3Harris Technologies Selected for Future US Weather Satellite Imager Design Phase Study
NASA has selected L3Harris Technologies to develop a concept for the next generation of geostationary weather imagers which will help advance future severe storm tracking, weather forecasting, climate and other Earth observations.
L3Harris will develop an imager design, as well as conduct technology development and analysis for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary and Extended Orbits (GEO-XO) satellite system. The GEO-XO mission will eventually replace the agency’s current Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) series of weather satellites, which includes the L3Harris-built primary payload.

The year will not be going out quietly in Hawaii. The Kilauea volcano roared back to life with a fresh eruption starting Sunday night. The US Geological Survey is monitoring the volcano and has shared eye-opening footage and images of the event.
Much of the action is happening in the volcano s Halemaʻumaʻu crater, which had been filled with water. Lava is cascaded into the summit water lake, boiling off the water and forming a new lava lake, USGS tweeted Monday along with an image showing a fissure that was producing a 165-foot (50-meter) lava fountain.
