The satellite was built by Lockheed Martin, based on the A2100A platform, and expected to have a useful life of 15 years (10 years operational after five years of standby as an on-orbit replacement). [6] GOES-17 is intended to deliver high-resolution visible and infrared imagery and lightning observations of more than half the globe. [7]
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.
NOAA-23: 2033 Estimated (as of Sep 2024) DSCOVR: 1st Gen Deep Space Satellite: DSCOVR: DSCOVR: 2015 GOES: 4th Gen GOES: GOES-R: GOES-16: 2016 GOES: 4th Gen GOES: GOES ...
GOES-16's design and instrumentation began in 1999 and was intended to fill key NOAA satellite requirements published that year. Following nearly a decade of instrument planning, spacecraft fabrication was contracted to Lockheed Martin Space Systems in 2008; construction of GOES-16 began in 2012 and lasted until 2014 when the satellite entered ...
The AN/UMQ-13(V) system or MARK IV-B, is a meteorological data station that is owned and operated by the United States Space Force. [1] [2] This system allows meteorologists from around the globe to analyze and forecast meteorological data from polar orbiting satellites belonging to, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), [3] Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP).

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 ABI views Earth with sixteen different channels, each measuring energy at different wavelengths along the electromagnetic spectrum to obtain information about ...
GOES-13 remained at 60.0° West as a backup satellite, in case one of the operational GOES satellites malfunctioned. [5] In January 2017, the United States Air Force started to consider taking over a spare GOES satellite for monitoring the Indian Ocean as the Meteosat-8 satellite was expected to be out of fuel in 2020 (later extended to 2022).

NOAA-21 ensures the continuity of satellite-based observations and products for NOAA's Polar-Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES) and Suomi NPP systems. [4] The JPSS Ground System was maintained to support NOAA-21, following the model established for NOAA-20. The instruments on board include VIIRS, CrIS, ATMS, and OMPS.
