GOES-16's Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) is the first operational lightning mapper flown in geostationary orbit. The spacecraft also includes four other scientific instruments for monitoring space weather and the Sun. GOES-16's design and instrumentation began in 1999 and was intended to fill key NOAA satellite requirements published that ...
The launch of GOES-N, which was renamed GOES-13 after attaining orbit. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), operated by the United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service division, supports weather forecasting, severe storm tracking, and meteorology research.
Unlike the payloads carried on GOES-12 through GOES-19, GeoXO satellites will not carry any instruments for observing space weather. Continuity of space weather and environment observations after the retirement of the GOES system is planned to be provided through the Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) mission and the Space Weather ...

NOAA's GOES-R Series of satellites is designed to improve the forecasts of weather, ocean, and environment by providing faster and more detailed data, real-time images of lightning, and advanced monitoring of solar activities and space weather. GOES-17 can collect three times more data at four times image resolution, and scan the planet five ...
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is about to make its closest approach to the sun. The spacecraft will fly within 3.8 million miles of the solar surface. The spacecraft is collecting essential data that ...
