GOES-R: An Animated Tour of a Weather Satellite

NOAA’s GOES-R Series of four geostationary weather satellites will provide a major improvement in the quality, quantity and timeliness of weather dated collected over the U.S. compared to previous weather satellites. This animation of a Lockheed Martin-built GOES-R satellite highlights the six instruments on the satellites including the Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI), the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) and the magnetometer, which are also being provided by Lockheed Martin.

[@newclearfilms4322]

From earth

It's in a geostationary orbit, so it has to be that far out
