The NOAA Satellite Information System (NOAASIS) web site is a central location for finding information about NOAA environmental satellites (GOES and POES). Information is provided by various contributors within the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) and the external satellite community. This site provides information of particular interest to users who operate their own direct readout receiving stations.

The NOAASIS is operated by the Direct Services Division, within the Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution (OSDPD). In addition to providing assistance to the global direct readout community, the Direct Services Division has responsibilities for Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking (SARSAT) and the GOES and Polar Data Collection Systems (DCS and Argos).

• Information Gateway: Guide to all satellite information available on this web site.

• Quick Look: Direct access to limited navigational and operational information only.

• Special Bulletins: Announcements of satellite operations that may affect the receipt of data.

• Survey: HELP NOAA SERVE YOU BETTER!  A new on-line user survey is now available. All NOAA satellite ground station operators and data users, worldwide, are invited to complete this short survey.
