Abstract :
This paper summarizes the anticipated performance of the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor. Predictions are generated from models and demonstration hardware based on the design described in a companion paper. VIIRS risk-reduction will continue as the Engineering Development Unit (EDU) is assembled and tested over the next year facilitating performance verification and lowering flight unit development risk.
