00:00:00.133 --> 00:00:03.866
Narrator: NOAA is preparing for a satellite launch in 2024.

2
00:00:04.333 --> 00:00:08.866
GOES-U will be the fourth and final satellite in NOAA’s latest generation

3
00:00:08.866 --> 00:00:12.333
of geostationary operational environmental satellites

4
00:00:12.333 --> 00:00:14.166
called the GOES-R Series.

5
00:00:14.533 --> 00:00:18.633
GOES-U, which will be renamed GOES-19 when it reaches orbit,

6
00:00:18.633 --> 00:00:22.900
will continue GOES East’s legacy of keeping watch over the contiguous

7
00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:27.133
United States, Central and South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

8
00:00:27.566 --> 00:00:30.933
Like the three other GOES-R Series satellites already in orbit,

9
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:35.500
GOES-U will provide near real-time, high-resolution imagery that will

10
00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:40.333
deliver critical information for weather forecasts, severe weather prediction,

11
00:00:40.333 --> 00:00:43.100
lightning detection, space weather

12
00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:46.100
and tropical cyclones spinning in the Atlantic basin.

13
00:00:47.166 --> 00:00:50.033
GOES-U will carry something new when it launches.

14
00:00:50.033 --> 00:00:54.166
A critical space weather instrument called the Compact Coronagraph-1,

15
00:00:54.166 --> 00:00:55.866
or CCOR-1.

16
00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:01.500
GOES-U will continue NOAA’s legacy to help scientists and forecasters

17
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:05.333
understand, monitor and predict our changing environment.

18
00:01:05.566 --> 00:01:06.933
From the oceans...

19
00:01:06.933 --> 00:01:08.000
to outer space.
