Investigators discovered that NACHC had disregarded the direction of CNCS’s General Counsel in 2010 to include in its training materials and member agreements the abortion prohibition precisely as stated in the Serve America Act.
For this review of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA’s) Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program, the objectives were to (1) determine the progress of Polar Follow-On program planning, (2) monitor ongoing JPSS acquisition and development (i.e., JPSS-1 and JPSS-2 missions), and (3) assess the extent of potential data gaps.
