NASA will give live inclusion of prelaunch and send off exercises for the Public Maritime and Climatic Organization's (NOAA) GOES-U (Geostationary Functional Natural Satellite U) mission.
The two-hour send off window opens at 5:16 p.m. EDT Tuesday, June 25, for the satellite's send off on a SpaceX Hawk Weighty rocket from Send off Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The GOES-U satellite, the last expansion to GOES-R series, will assist with planning for two sorts of climate Earth and space climate. The GOES satellites serve a basic job in giving consistent inclusion of the Western Side of the equator, remembering observing tropical frameworks for the eastern Pacific and Atlantic seas.
This nonstop observing guides researchers and forecasters in giving convenient admonitions and estimates to assist with safeguarding the one billion individuals who live and work in the Americas.
Furthermore, GOES-U conveys another minimized coronagraph that will picture the external layer of the Sun's climate to recognize and describe coronal mass discharges.

Frequently Asked Questions!
Does NASA work with NOAA?
NOAA and NASA regulate the turn of events, send off, testing, and activity of the relative multitude of satellites in the GeoXO program. NOAA reserves and deals with the program, activities, and information items. For NOAA, NASA and business accomplices create and construct the instruments and shuttle and send off the satellites.
How much do NOAA satellites cost?
GeoXO is NOAA's biggest satellite program ever, with an expected all out lifecycle cost of $19.6 billion. That covers advancement of six satellites and their tasks through the center of the hundred years. NOAA got $301 million for the progressing GOES-R series of geostationary weather conditions satellites.
Where does NOAA get its data?
NOAA satellites notice the Earth from space, continually filtering the planet to gather the most exceptional information about the air, land, and seas. This data is essential to our day to day routines and is as a matter of fact the reason for each weather conditions estimate.
