GOES

The new generation GOES-R satellites will carry significant improvements and technology innovation on board. GOES-R will be able to deliver a full globe scan in only 5 minutes, compared to the 25 minutes needed for the same task with the current GOES satellites. GOES-R's lightning mapper instrument is expected to improve warning lead time for severe storms and tornadoes by 50%. This without a doubt will help predict severe weather in advance and save more lives. This reel is a compilation of finished productions about the GOES-R mission as well as supporting materials such as animations, visualizations, and still images.Spacecraft Animations ||

GOES-S is the latest in a series of new weather satellites, a powerful asset in the nation's fleet. It is part of of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) – R Series. These are the nation’s most advanced in terms of geostationary weather satellites. The GOES-R Series significantly improves the detection and observation of environmental phenomena that directly affect public safety, protection of property and our nation’s economic health and prosperity.The satellites provide advanced imaging with increased spatial resolution and faster coverage for more accurate forecasts, real-time mapping of lightning activity, and improved monitoring of solar activity and space weather.The GOES-R Series is a four-satellite program (GOES-R/S/T/U) that will extend the availability of the operational GOES satellite system through 2036. || GOESR_Conceptual_3_V2_print.jpg (1024x576) [129.2 KB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT_twitter_720.00537_searchweb.png (320x180) [33.2 KB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT_twitter_720.00537_thm.png (80x40) [3.6 KB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT.mov (1920x1080) [4.7 GB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT.webm (960x540) [142.6 MB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT_facebook_720.mp4 (1280x720) [424.6 MB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT_twitter_720.mp4 (1280x720) [86.7 MB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT_youtube_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [580.4 MB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT_youtube_720.mp4 (1280x720) [553.5 MB] || GOES-S_FINAL_DRAFT_twitter_720.webm (1280x720) [39.0 MB] || GOES-S_FINAL.en_US.srt [6.9 KB] || GOES-S_FINAL.en_US.vtt [6.9 KB] ||

NOAA’s GOES-U is the fourth and final satellite in the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) – R Series,the Western Hemisphere’s most sophisticated weather-observing and environmental-monitoring system. The GOES-R Series provides advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements, real-time mapping of lightning activity, and monitoring of space weather.GOES-U will be renamed GOES-19 after it reaches geostationary orbit. Following a successful on-orbit checkout of its instruments and systems, NOAA plans to put GOES-19 into operational service, replacing GOES-16 as GOES East. GOES-19 will work in tandem with GOES-18, NOAA’s GOES West satellite. Together, GOES East and GOES West watch over more than half the globe – from the west coast of Africa to New Zealand. ||

Join a NOAA expert on June 25, 2024 to celebrate the launch of the next and final installment of the GOES weather satellite series!From Earth weather to space weather, NOAA’s fleet of geostationary satellites play an important role in our everyday lives. And on June 25th, the fourth and final installation of the GOES-R series is set to launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. As the final satellite in NOAA’s GOES-R (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites) series, GOES-U will continue to provide fast, clear and reliable weather-tracking information. GOES-U will provide real-time data for monitoring severe weather, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, fog and even lightning. Not only that, GOES-U carries a suite of instruments, including the first operational compact coronagraph, to monitor the Sun and warn us of approaching space weather hazards. A coronagraph is an instrument that blocks out the bright disk of the Sun so that researchers can see our star’s fainter outer atmosphere where much of the solar activity originates. This new coronagraph will better detect and characterize coronal mass ejections. The GOES series of weather satellites are parked in a geostationary orbit at points over the equator and rotate at the same speed as the Earth. The fixed location provides continuous coverage of weather conditions across the Western hemisphere. Once in orbit GOES-U will be renamed GOES-19. After an on-orbit check out to ensure its instruments and systems are working properly, GOES-19 will go into service as GOES-East, replacing GOES-16. In this location, GOES-19 will watch over most of North America, including the contiguous United States and Mexico, as well as Central and South America, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west coast of Africa.
