Well, it seems the last five instruments have been integrated onto the NPP satellite. NPP is the NPOESS Prepatory Project. The first of what was going to be 5 satellites, then 4, now?
- CrIS: The Cross-track Infrared Sounder
- ATMS: Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder
- VIRS: Fisible/Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite
- OMPS: Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite
- CERES: Cloads and Earth Radiant Energy System
So, now if they can keep from smoking anything the plan is to launch in October 2011.
