Why this matters

NOAA's GEO satellites provide real-time weather, hurricane, and climate data critical to U.S. forecasting and disaster response.

Supply-chain signal

L3Harris supplies satellite ground systems and cloud infrastructure; this obligation sustains ongoing operational capacity through 2028.

U.S.–China competition angle
