GOES-16<\/strong>, formerly known as GOES-R<\/strong> before reaching geostationary orbit<\/a>, is the first of the GOES-R series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite<\/a> (GOES) operated by NASA<\/a> and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a> (NOAA). GOES-16 serves as the operational geostationary weather satellite<\/a> in the GOES East position at 75.2\u00b0W<\/a>, providing a view centered on the Americas<\/a>. GOES-16 provides high spatial and temporal resolution imagery of the Earth through 16 spectral bands<\/a> at visible<\/a> and infrared<\/a> wavelengths using its Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). GOES-16’s Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) is the first operational lightning<\/a> mapper flown in geostationary orbit. The spacecraft also includes four other scientific instruments for monitoring space weather<\/a> and the Sun<\/a>. (WIKI Description to save me from trying to explain it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOES-17<\/strong> (formerly GOES-S<\/strong>) is the second of the current generation of weather satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a> (NOAA). The four satellites of the series (GOES-16<\/a>, -17, –T<\/a>, and –U<\/a>) will extend the availability of the GOES<\/a> (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite system) until 2036 for weather forecast and meteorology research. The satellite was built by Lockheed Martin<\/a>, was based on the A2100A<\/a> platform, and will have an expected useful life of 15 years (10 years operational after five years of standby as an on-orbit replacement).[7]<\/a><\/sup> GOES-17 is intended to deliver high-resolution visible and infrared imagery and lightning observations of more than half the globe.[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
