Because of the funding on the continuing resolution currently keeping the country afloat is lower than expected, the planned launch date for the JPSS (formerly the first NPOESS) is now 2016. If they get funded according the budget request -- which at this point is probably VERY unlikely -- they might be able to launch in 2015. Maybe.
