ITT's CrIS instrument will be on board NASA's National Polar Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite.

ITT Imager and sounder instruments have been on the following LEO programs:

POES – Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellites

ITT's imager and sounder instruments fly on all NOAA POES starting with the first series, TRIOS in 1978. The POES system offers the advantage of daily global coverage, collecting data four times daily, and is used for a variety of land, ocean, and atmospheric applications.

	AVHRR – Advanced Very High Resolutions Radiometer
	HIRS – High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder

NPOESS – National Polar Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite

NPOESS is the next generation environmental satellite system that will provide civil, military and scientific communities with highly accurate environmental data used for both short term and long term weather forecasting and climate models.

ITT's Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) will be onboard NPOESS and will be the first in a series of advanced operational sounders that will provide more accurate, detailed atmospheric temperature and moisture observations for weather and climate applications.

EUMETSAT – European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites

Not surprisingly, ITT's successes have drawn global attention. EUMETSAT, the European intra-governmental association, is carrying ITT's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) instruments aboard Europe's first meteorological operational polar orbiting (MetOP) satellites. MetOP is a series of three satellites to be launch sequentially over 14 years, the first satellite, MetOp-A launched on October 16, 2006.
