Associated space launch
The NOAA K, L and M POES satellites begin the fifth generation of improved environmental monitoring in support of NOAA missions. The instrument payload has significant improvements and additions/deletions. The instrument changes have effected the spacecraft subsystems and data formats.
NOAA 16 DEB was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Titan II SLV | NOAA 16’, on board a Titan II SLV space rocket.
The launch took place on Sept. 21, 2000, 10:22 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 4W.
