Change it to what?

NPOESS was part research program and incorporated a number of new instruments. Not a viable data purchase candidate.

FWIW…

I thought we all understood that the wonderful free enterprise will always build better weather satellites than any number of government agencies! Think of the money that could have been saved!

More seriously, yeah, I saw that at Space Policy Online yesterday. I won’t make any judgement about the solution arrived at; what really struck me was that somewhere at the White House or Pentagon there was obviously a crew of space policy wonks rabid for work.

Maybe it’s time to change the image at the top right on this web site?

NPOESS started as a Clinton Administration reorganization and should have been fixed during Bush II. There was no reason to let this critical capability suffer so blatantly for so long. The various White Houses had years to fix (or just change course). Very neglectful.

FWIW…
