GOES-P Readied For Launch

Released on March 3, 2010

GOES-P is the last in the GOES N-O-P series of weather satellites and it will provide continuity of service for real-time weather prediction on Earth as well as space weather events and search and rescue efforts.

GOES-P, set to launch in March of 2010, is the last in the N-O-P series of weather satellites and will continue providing critical data for predicting Earth and space weather. This video takes you on a tour of some of the critical facilities at Cape Canaverals Air Force Station, where go or no go decisions are made on the day of launch.
