July 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. Defense Department won't end the dispersal of key satellite weather data on Friday as planned.
One month ago, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published a notice about the change by the U.S. Navy, effective July 1. Then NOAA said the change would be delayed by one month until Thursday.
In an update posted Wednesday, the phase-out plans were pushed back one year.
"The Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) has announced plans to continue distribution of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) data beyond July 31, 2025," the update said. "As a result, there will be no interruption to DMSP data delivery."
