00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:03,866

Narrator: NOAA is preparing for a satellite launch in 2024.

2

00:00:04,333 --> 00:00:08,866

GOES-U will be the fourth and final satellite in NOAA’s latest generation

3

00:00:08,866 --> 00:00:12,333

of geostationary operational environmental satellites

4

00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:14,166

called the GOES-R Series.

5

00:00:14,533 --> 00:00:18,633

GOES-U, which will be renamed GOES-19 when it reaches orbit,

6

00:00:18,633 --> 00:00:22,900

will continue GOES East’s legacy of keeping watch over the contiguous

7

00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:27,133

United States, Central and South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

8

00:00:27,566 --> 00:00:30,933

Like the three other GOES-R Series satellites already in orbit,

9

00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:35,500

GOES-U will provide near real-time, high-resolution imagery that will

10

00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:40,333

deliver critical information for weather forecasts, severe weather prediction,

11

00:00:40,333 --> 00:00:43,100

lightning detection, space weather

12

00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,100

and tropical cyclones spinning in the Atlantic basin.

13

00:00:47,166 --> 00:00:50,033

GOES-U will carry something new when it launches.

14

00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:54,166

A critical space weather instrument called the Compact Coronagraph-1,

15

00:00:54,166 --> 00:00:55,866

or CCOR-1.

16

00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,500

GOES-U will continue NOAA’s legacy to help scientists and forecasters

17

00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:05,333

understand, monitor and predict our changing environment.

18

00:01:05,566 --> 00:01:06,933

From the oceans...

19

00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:08,000

to outer space.
