What is GOES-R?

- The GOES-R series, NOAA's next-generation geostationary weather satellites, is a game changer. These satellites, beginning with the launch of GOES-R on November 4, 2016, will provide continuous imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s Western Hemisphere, total lightning data, and space weather monitoring to provide critical atmospheric, hydrologic, oceanic, climatic, solar and space data.
These measurements will lead to significant improvements in the detection and observations of meteorological phenomena that directly affect public safety, protection of property and our GOES fleet in the GOES-R era nation’s economic health and prosperity. - Наука та технологія
Thanks for the info Cool
Would be better if you had 3 of these, to form a Geostationary Orbit, and just infinitly monitor Earth, and Sol. (
This is only the first one, there will be 3 more of this next-generation GOES satellites! GOES-S, GOES-T and GOES-U are scheduled for launches in 2018, 2019, and 2024 respectively.
There are also already 3 other older generation GOES satellites, GOES-13, 14 & 15, launched in 2006, 2009 & 2010, which are still in active operation, although GOES-R will be replacing one of these. GOES is actually a very long-running project, having had 17 (including today's) orbiting weather satellites in the series since GOES 1 launched in 1975, although most of them have either been re-purposed, or have been decomissioned and are in a graveyard orbit (one of them failed to achieve orbit, blowing up about a minute after takeoff).
What a machine!
Whos here after the Volcan eruption
hi tech!
This video doesn't even give a wink to the other three instruments on board GOES observing the Sun. Shameful and ignorant marketing NOAA! Come on, you gus can do better than this, especially given the fact that this is a multi-billion dollar program!
Incidentally, neither did you. What *are* the other three instruments?
