ABI formulation contracts awarded: 30 April 2001
NASA has awarded three $8 million contracts to Ball Aerospace and Technologies, Boulder, Co., ITT Industries, Fort Wayne, Ind., and Raytheon Santa Barbara Remote Sensing, Goleta, Calif., for formulation phase work on an advanced imager for the next generation of geostationary weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The new advanced sensor, called the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), will be the primary instrument on NOAA's future Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) beginning with the GOES-R mission which will be ready to fly in 2008. The ABI will provide the core data that the National Weather Service uses for routine weather forecasting and severe storm forecasting.
Under terms of the firm fixed price contracts, each company will develop detailed engineering plans for the future instrument. NASA is expected to select a company in 2003 to build the instrument.

- In the late 1960's and early 1970's, NASA contracted for five Hughes Corp. Applications Technology Satellites (ATS), which flew the first color cameras in geosynchronous orbit.
In 1999, JT Young at the University of Wisconsin digitized the ATS-3 color photos from 1967, making possible the first day-long color QuickTime movie of the Earth, taken on 18 November 1967.
