The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) owns the TDRS constellation. The National Science Foundation (NSF) owns the GOES satellite, which was turned over to the NSF by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under a Memorandum of Agreement in the 1990s. Iridium LLC (a private company) owns the Iridium satellite system and contracts with Boeing to operate it.
