Hosted Payload Website

The Common Instrument Interface (CII) Hosted Payload Opportunity (HPO) database provides information regarding future Earth satellites containing sufficient breadth and depth so that NASA Earth Science Flight Programs and prospective Earth Venture-Instrument proposers can be successful when matching instruments with HPOs.
