Due to the confusion of the Atmospheric Satellite Reconnaissance System name, which may make people think that the satellites are in the upper atmosphere, rather than space, we may change the name of ASRS to Atmospheric Space Reconnaissance System. This could help to remove confusion and make it easier to understand that the satellites are in space. A final word on this will be released no earlier than Sept. 30, 2021.
ASRS is an international effort to reinvent how we monitor weather.
Why didn't name it Atmosat as in Atmospheric Satellite and name each mission with its own name like Sentinel mission's.
