  GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI)

ABI Hardware Today ITT's innovations have lead to the successful design of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) for the next generation GOES-R satellite scheduled to launch in 2012.

ABI will be a mission critical payload on GOES-R, providing over 65% of all the mission data products currently defined. Its advanced design will provide users with twice the spatial resolution, six times the scan rate, and more than three times the number of spectral channels compared to the current GOES imager. These improvements will allow tomorrow's meteorologists and climatologists to significantly improve the accuracy of their products, both in forecasting and nowcasting.
