new C-5 entries for NOAA 22 and 23

Initial request

In preparation for the launch of the next NOAA JPSS satellites beginning in 2027, U.S. NESDIS is requesting new C-5 entries for these satellites.

Amendment details

COMMON CODE TABLE C-5: Satellite identifier Code	Meaning
756	NOAA 22
757	NOAA 23

Comments

Note that we are requesting the above numbers in the 700-799 range of CCT C-5 for these future satellites, even though recent JPSS satellites such as NOAA 19, NOAA 20, NOAA 21, etc. were defined within the 200-299 range. This is because of the rule for C-5 which states that only even deciles should be used for polar orbiting satellites, and those deciles are now full within the 200-299 range.
