NASA KENNEDY SPACE CENTER LAUNCH SCHEDULE SERIES
GOES-T is the third satellite in NOAA’s GOES-R series – the Western Hemisphere’s most sophisticated weather observing and environmental monitoring system. And that’s a good feeling there is accomplishment there.” Once we separate the spacecraft into its correct orbit, we’re done. “The end of my job is the beginning of the on-orbit checkout and operations that will go on for years and years. “For us, this is really the last big operation other than launch,” said GOES-T Mission Manager Rex Engelhardt.
The launch is being managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center. In addition, GOES observations have proven helpful in monitoring dust storms, volcanic eruptions, and forest fires. The GOES satellite network helps meteorologists observe and predict local weather events, including thunderstorms, tornadoes, fog, hurricanes, flash floods, and other severe weather. Secured atop a ULA V 541 rocket, GOES-T is targeted to lift off Tuesday, March 1, at 4:38 p.m.
28, 2022, GOES-T rolled out from United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Vertical Integration Facility Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 41. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite, a joint effort between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is out at the launch pad and ready for its ride into space. A United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket, carrying the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T), rolls out from the Vertical Integration Facility to Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Feb.
