    An informative image explains that GeoXO satellites will be named
    A colorful global map shows climate data with temperature variations: red indicates hot regions, green is moderate, and blue represents cold areas.
    The sounder on the multiagency Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite has been gathering data on temperature, atmospheric pressure and moisture since 2012. In this composite of three days of observations, the orange represents warmer sea surface temperatures and the magenta represents colder temperatures.

    From geosynchronous orbit, a hyperspectral sounder could record atmospheric temperature and moisture of the same area every 30 minutes to one hour, compared to the 12 hours between observations for the Cross-track Infrared Sounders on the multiagency Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite. Pictured above, Suomi was launched in 2011.
    An infographic states that NOAA will decide in December if it will proceed with planning its GeoXO constellation, with a 2023 preliminary design review, 2029 critical design review, and 2032 first satellite launch.
