Noaa18 was launched successfully on 20th May, and is currently in an
ascending PM orbit at an altitude of 870 km.
It is already sending data, with spectral channels 1, 2 and 3 operating,
channels 4 and 5 in the infrared to be switched on later when outgassing is
completed.
Here is the first image I have processed from noaa18, and is a false colour
composite of channels 1 and 2.
So far, it all looks very promising.
