GOES-16 provides high spatial and temporal resolution imagery of the Earth through 16 spectral bands at visible and infrared wavelengths using its Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). GOES-16's Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) is the first operational lightning mapper flown in geostationary orbit.
GOES-16 has since made the need for a dedicated GOES-South satellite obsolete; as of 2019, the satellite produces full disk images every 10 minutes. Development of GOES-R Series [ edit ] In September 2006, NOAA reduced the planned number of GOES-R satellites from four to two because of cost overrun concerns.
GOES-2. 15 June 1977, 10:51. Delta 2914. CCAFS LC-17B. 60° W. Retired. 1993 [2] Reactivated as comsat in 1995, [2] finally deactivated in May 2001.
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-18 (designated pre-launch as GOES-T) is the third of the "GOES-R Series", the current generation of weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The current and next satellites of the Series ( GOES-16, GOES-17, GOES-18, and GOES-U) will extend the availability of the Geostationary Operational ...

EWS-G1 (Electro-optical Infrared Weather System Geostationary) [2] is a weather satellite of the U.S. Space Force, formerly GOES-13 (also known as GOES-N before becoming operational) and part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system. On 14 April 2010, GOES-13 became the ...
Launch The Launch of GOES-O. The Animation of GOES-14's trajectory. GOES-14 · Earth This is the first full-disk thermal infrared (IR) image taken by GOES-14. The first attempt to launch GOES-O was made on 26 June 2009, during a launch window running from 22:14-23:14 UTC (18:14-19:14 EDT).
