Why Choose ITT?
For over 40 years, ITT has been a world leader in advanced climate and environmental monitoring systems. Our end-to-end solutions allow you to anticipate nature's next move, whether it's in the next hour, the next year, or the next century. ITT's proven-reliable sensors, systems, subsystems and software are used to capture, process, visualize and analyze data quickly and accurately. So scientists and policymakers can have the data they need to make the best-informed decisions about managing climate change and making the planet more livable.
Proven Reliable:
- 100% on-orbit mission success.
- ITT Imaging and sounding space-qualified systems for Geostationary Earth Orbiting (GEO) and Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) programs are renowned for innovation, performance, stability and longevity. They have consistently achieved 100% on-orbit mission success.
- ITT's passive sensors provide critical mission success on the following programs:
- GEO - GOES I-M, NOP (Imager and Sounder), INSAT (Imager, India), MTSAT (Imager, Japan), COMS (Imager, Korea), GOES-R (Imager)
- LEO (Polar) - NIMBUS (HRIR Imager), TIROS/POES (HIRS Radiometer and AVHRR Sounder), METOP (HIRS and AVHRR), NPOESS (CrIS Sounder)
- Products outlive their design life by significant margin:
- POES instruments routinely last 6 or more years, twice the length of a typical mission life.
- GOES instruments outlast the satellites' lifetime (mission life = 5 years).
- GOES instruments have been operational without loss of data since 1994.
- POES instruments have provided a 40-year continuous database of worldwide meteorological data.
Low Risk:
- Over 40-years' experience in space-based remote sensing sensors.
- ITT helped pioneer weather, climate and environmental monitoring by working with NOAA and NASA as part of the original team that helped establish their meteorological programs.
- ITT has manufactured every operational imager and sounder flown on the successful GOES and POES programs.
- World-class people, facilities and resources.
- ITT people have a breadth of experience in all facets of remote sensing and GPS navigation. From image and data collection through processing and dissemination, and they are experts in end-end modeling and testing.
- State of the art facilities are optimized for operational production.
- Strong system-engineering methods ensure quality product.
- Solutions leverage strength of corporation.
- ITT Space Systems Division is part of ITT Defense-a team of more than 15,000 people working around the world with one mission-to provide government and commercial customers with superior solutions for communications, sensing and surveillance, space and advanced engineering and integrated services. ITT Defense is part of ITT Corporation. ITT is a diversified high-technology engineering and manufacturing company dedicated to creating more livable environments, enabling communications and providing protection and safety. The company plays an important role in vital markets including water and fluids management, global defense and security, and motion and flow control. ITT employs approximately 40,000 people serving customers in more than 50 countries. Headquartered in White Plains, N.Y., the company generated $9 billion in 2007 sales.
Innovative:
- ITT developed the meteorological GOES & POES instruments, which are now the backbone of the National Weather Service forecasting system.
- ITT's GOES instruments revolutionized "now casting", providing updated information every minute.
- ITT instruments provide vital, long-term data to the science community for climate change research.
- AVHRR and HIRS have provided a 40-year science database that has become a key tool.
- In-depth expertise and continued investment in sensor technologies needed for the next generation of earth science:
