We have liftoff! GOES-U is on its way to provide meteorologists in the U.S. and western hemisphere with crystal-clear images of severe storms, hurricanes, wildfires and other weather hazards faster than ever before.

Lockheed is my dream job.

Awesome! A little bit more about the GOES-U satellite: It is equipped with a suite of advanced instruments, including the Compact Coronagraph (CCOR), which will provide crucial data on solar flares and coronal mass ejections, directly impacting space weather forecasting. Additionally, the satellite includes a lightning mapper, a key feature of the GOES-R series, which has significantly enhanced weather forecasting accuracy. This technology allows meteorologists to analyze lightning data, providing a more comprehensive understanding of storm intensity and improving warning systems. GOES-U acts as a bridge to the future GeoXO satellite program, set to launch in 2032, promising even greater advancements in weather prediction.

What a beautiful launch vehicle 💪🏾
