National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
39 satellites in orbit, 6 operating.
The count is the catalogue’s as of Nov 8, 2026, 4:17 PM; whether a satellite is operating is as Orbinauts writes it where it has written when the satellite’s mission ended, and otherwise as Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue believes it, licensed CC BY 4.0: GCAT
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is how GCAT, Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue (CC BY 4.0), names the organisation under the code NOAA, of United States of America. This page gathers the satellites it flies and those of every organisation under it, each row naming the organisation that flies it. It is part of Department of Commerce. See every satellite of Department of Commerce.
The live map has no filter that picks out exactly these satellites.
