The NESDIS/StAR VIIRS Imagery and Visualization Team is responsible for the checkout/validation of Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) EDR Imagery from the NASA/NOAA Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS)-1 spacecraft. Currently, there are two VIIRS in orbit: JPSS-1 (NOAA-20) leads SNPP (Suomi-National Polar-orbiting Partnership) spacecraft by a half orbit, or ~50 minutes in the 1330 local-time sun-synchronous orbit. The VIIRS instrument collects visible and infrared imagery of the earth, providing global information about land, ocean, clouds, and cryosphere.
