NOAA M was launched by Titan II in 2002, becoming NOAA 17. It wil go to a 1000LT southbound equator crossing to optimize vegetation mapping, instead of the 0730LT used by earlier NOAA morning satellite.
NOAA M is 4.2m long 1.9m dia with a 6.1m solar panel array. Mass is 2232 kg launch, including 757 kg of fuel in the 42.38 kN Star XFP, which burns for 51s.
NOAA M was the last NOAA to be completed at East Windsor before the transfer to Sunnyvale in 1998.
