Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites, like the one shown in an artist's rendition here, provide critical, strategic, and tactical meteorological and environmental data to military and civilian users around the world. Since the mid-1960's, when the Department of Defense initiated the DMSP, low, earth-orbiting satellites have provided the military with important environmental information. Each DMSP satellite has a 101-minute orbit and provides global coverage twice per day. (Courtesy illustration)
