ONE has been selected by Northrop
Grumman/Raytheon team to support their capture effort of the next generation of
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite. GOES satellites are a
mainstay of weather and space weather forecasting, and ocean and climate
monitoring in the United States. The third generation of GOES will provide new
data unlike anything seen before in the history of Earth observations. This new
GOES, planned for launch in 2012, will scan the Earth nearly five times faster
than the current GOES. The satellites will provide the user community
(television meteorologists, private weather companies, the aviation and
agriculture communities, and national and international government agencies)
with about one hundred times the amount of data currently provided. |
