GOES-16 serves as the operational geostationary weather satellite in the GOES East position at 75.2°W, providing a view centered on the Americas. 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).
The GOES-16 photos show a level of detail never before seen at four times the resolution of existing spacecraft. New high-resolution weather images from space will blow your mind Skip to main content
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 followed this up on Tuesday with more mind-boggling photos from the great expanse of outer space. The "deep field" image gleans a look at a point in space 4.6 billion light-years away from Earth.
It was temporarily designated GOES-East because of technical difficulties with GOES-13 and moved towards the GOES-East location. After resolution of those problems, GOES-14 was returned to storage. [16] GOES-15, which was designated GOES-P before orbiting, was launched successfully on 4 March 2010, [17] [18] on a Delta IV M+ (4,2).
