ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette
The next generation of weather satellites capable of tracking severe weather will be developed with help from L3Harris local workforce, the company said Monday in a news release.
NASA has selected L3Harris for the first phase of designing a new imaging system for satellites used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, commonly known as NOAA.
The new satellite system will replace one commonly known as the GOES-R, for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R. L3Harris also worked on that system.
