NASA's High-Altitude Plane Takes to the Sky for GOES-16 Field Campaign

NASA ER-2 high-altitude plane has taken to the air to complete phase one of the 11-week GOES-16 Field Campaign to ensure NOAA's GOES-16 satellite provides precise satellite measurements, which will improve forecasting.
The mission? Ensure that NOAA's GOES-16's Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instruments are 'seeing' the same targets as the plane's instruments.

NOAA's GOES-16 Satellite Sends First Images to Earth

GOES-16, the first spacecraft in NOAA's next-generation of geostationary satellites, has sent the first high-resolution images from its Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument. Included among them are a composite colour full-disk visible image of the Western Hemisphere captured on January 15, 2017. Created using several of the ABI's 16 spectral channels, the full-disk image offers an example the satellite's advanced technology.

NASA Successfully Launches NOAA Advanced Geostationary Weather Satellite

NASA successfully launched for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) the first in a series of highly advanced geostationary weather satellites Saturday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R (GOES-R) lifted off at 6:42 p.m. EST on its way to boost the nation's weather observation capabilities, leading to more accurate and timely forecasts, watches and warnings.

NASA Social Focuses on Advanced Weather Satellite Mission

Spoiler

A NASA Social was one of several media events at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre focused on GOES-R -- the first spacecraft in a new series of NASA-built advanced geostationary weather satellites that will provide images of weather patterns and severe storms as regularly as every five minutes or as frequently as every 30 seconds. These images can be used to aid in weather forecasts, severe weather outlooks, watches and warnings, lightning conditions, maritime forecasts and aviation forecasts. GOES-R is targeted for launch Nov. 19, aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

GOES-R: Launching in October 2016

NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Series satellite- R (GOES-R) will now be launched in October 2016. Earlier this year, NOAA, NASA and Lockheed Martin (the primary spacecraft developer) conducted an extensive review and decided moving the launch date from March 2016 to October 2016 would best mitigate possible schedule risks. The October 2016 date was determined by a number of factors, including launch site and booster availability.
