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. [15] GOSAT: Active JAXA 2009 Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite.
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.
SMS-derived GOES satellite This is a list of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites . GOES spacecraft are operated by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , with NASA responsible for research and development, and later procurement of spacecraft.
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) program began as a joint effort between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1975 to develop geostationary weather satellites following the success of the Applications Technology Satellite (ATS) and Synchronous Meteorological Satellite programs ...
The map from NASA's Earth Observatory land surface temperature changes across America compared to 2001-2010 average for the same day period, stretching from December 26, 2017 to January 2, 2018.
On 14 April 2010, GOES-13 became the operational weather satellite for GOES-East. [3] It was replaced by GOES-16 on 18 December 2017 [4] and on 8 January 2018 its instruments were shut off and it began its three-week drift to an on-orbit storage location at 60.0° West longitude, arriving on 31 January 2018.
The first weather satellite to be considered a success was TIROS-1, launched by NASA on April 1, 1960. [5] TIROS operated for 78 days and proved to be much more successful than Vanguard 2. Other early weather satellite programs include the 1962 Defense Satellite Applications Program (DSAP) [6] and the 1964 Soviet Meteor series.
