NOAA-15, also known as NOAA-K before launch, was a polar-orbiting, NASA-provided Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) series weather forecasting satellite operated by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA-15 was the latest in the Advanced TIROS-N (ATN) series. It provided support to environmental monitoring by complementing the NOAA/NESS Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite program (GOES).
