Space exploration promises to improve the quality of life on Earth. Improvements include greater economic prosperity, health, environmental quality, safety and security. Space exploration leads to advances in science and technology which then bring numerous benefits. Scientific knowledge gained from space expands humanity's understanding of nature. Challenges related to weather forecasting and natural disasters require new approaches. Natural disasters and devastating epidemics destroy hundreds of homes, damage property and cause injuries to people. The extremely challenging nature requires the development of cutting-edge technical capabilities and radars' view of these disasters may be blocked and/or have poor visibility. Furthermore, it may be difficult for ground-based radars or investigative aircraft to detect this information. However, with the operational geostationary environmental satellite, scientists can better track how developing storms are moving and intensifying before and during the occurrence of severe weather, and all of this will help meteorologists ab...
