GOES-17 →. GOES-16, formerly known as GOES-R before reaching geostationary orbit, is the first of the GOES-R series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). GOES-16 serves as the operational geostationary weather satellite in the GOES East ...
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.
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. GOES-R launched on 19 November 2016. It was renamed GOES-16 upon reaching orbit. Second of the series GOES-S, was launched on 1 March 2018.
NOAA's and NASA's GOES-R weather satellite has beamed back its first set of images, a couple of months after it left the planet. The spacecraft that's now known as GOES-16 used its Advanced ...
GOES-18 →. 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 ...
Imagery This GOES-18 image shows the contiguous United States observed by each of the ABI's 16 channels on May 5, 2022. On May 11, 2022, NOAA shared the first images of the Western Hemisphere from its GOES-18 satellite. The satellite's Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument captured views of Earth.
The SXI aboard GOES 12 is a Wolter Type I ( Wolter telescope) grazing incidence X-ray telescope designed to record coronal images in continuous sequence at 1-minute intervals. The Solar X-ray Imager obtains images at multiple wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum from 6 to 60 angstrom units (Å). [3] The imagery obtained by the XSI and ...
Sentinel-1. Sentinel-1 is the first of the Copernicus Programme satellite constellation conducted by the European Space Agency. [4] This mission was originally composed of a constellation of two satellites, Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B, which shared the same orbital plane. Two more satellites, Sentinel-1C and Sentinel-1D are in development.
