GOES-16 was designed to have a service lifetime of 15 years, including 10 years as an operational satellite and 5 additional years as a backup for successive GOES satellites. GOES-16's command and data handling subsystem is based around the SpaceWire bus; a modified version of the SpaceWire protocol was developed specifically for GOES-16 as a ...
The GOES-R series is a four-satellite program (GOES-R, -S, -T and -U) intended to extend the availability of the operational GOES satellite system through 2036. [10] GOES-R launched on 19 November 2016. [9] It was renamed GOES-16 upon reaching orbit. Second of the series GOES-S, was launched on 1 March 2018.
Built on a Hughes Space and Communications HS-371 spacecraft bus. GOES-D. GOES-4. 9 September 1980, 22:57. Delta 3914. CCAFS LC-17A. 135° W. Retired. 22 November 1988 [4]
Once GOES-U reaches a geostationary orbit, or a circular orbit above Earth’s equator, the satellite will be renamed GOES-19, or GOES East. The satellite will replace GOES-16, the former GOES ...
GOES-17 (designated pre-launch as GOES-S) is an environmental satellite operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The satellite is second in the four-satellite GOES-R series (GOES-16, -17, - T, and - U). GOES-17 supports the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) system, providing multi-spectral ...
GOES-16, -17: Active NASA 2016 monitors weather for NOAA. GRACE-FO: Active NASA 2018 [12] [13] Gravity and climate. The mission will track changes in global sea levels, glaciers, and ice sheets, as well as large lake and river water levels, and soil moisture.
