Following a successful Launch Readiness Review at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite is cleared to proceed with Tuesday's launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Liftoff is targeted for 4:38 p.m. EST on Tuesday, March 1, on a United Launch Alliance …
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite now officially has its ride. GOES-T was transported from Astrotech's Space Operations facility in Titusville, Florida, to United Launch Alliance's (ULA) nearby Vertical Integration Facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41. It was then mated to the top …
By Jim Cawley NASA's Kennedy Space Center Now safely encapsulated, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite has completed another key milestone in preparation for its March 1, 2022, launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Inside the Astrotech Space Operations facility in nearby Titusville, the two …
By Jim Cawley NASA's Kennedy Space Center An activity completed at Astrotech's Space Operations facility in Titusville today brings NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite T (GOES-T) mission one significant step closer to its March 1, 2022, liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida in just over a month. On Jan. 27, 2022, the …
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite T (GOES-T) – the third satellite in NOAA's GOES-R series – is now in Florida, undergoing final preparations ahead of its targeted launch on March 1, 2022. The satellite arrived at the Launch and Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Nov. 10, 2021, in a United States Air …
NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are now targeting Feb. 16, 2022, for the launch of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite T (GOES-T) mission. The launch was previously planned for Jan. 8, 2022. NASA, NOAA, and United Launch Alliance (ULA) coordinated the new target date to optimize launch schedules for missions flying from Space Launch Complex-41. …

The launch was previously planned for Dec. 7, 2021. NASA, NOAA, and United Launch Alliance (ULA) coordinated the new target date to optimize launch schedules for missions flying …
The second in a series of four next-generation weather satellites is now in geosynchronous transfer orbit above the Earth. NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-S (GOES-S) launched on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 5:02 p.m. EST from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. There were no weather …
The GOES-S satellite completed deployment of the Stage 1 solar array that will generate electricity for the spacecraft during its mission. GOES-S is in a geosynchronous transfer orbit above the Earth, its systems are in good health and it is operating on its own.
We have spacecraft separation. Cheers and applause can be heard from the launch teams as the GOES-S spacecraft separates from the United Launch Alliance Centaur upper stage to fly freely for the first time. Next up is solar array deployment. GOES-S currently is in a geosynchronous transfer orbit above the Earth.
