Summary

[edit]
Description

Technicians unwrap GOES-R in a clean room at Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Florida, after being delivered on August 22, 2016 from Colorado. Over the next two months, the satellite will undergo preparations for encapsulation on top of the rocket that will take it to geostationary orbit, more than 22,000 miles above Earth!

GOES-R was shipped from Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, to Kennedy Space Center aboard a U.S. Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy cargo transport on August 22, 2016.

GOES-R is scheduled to launch on November 4, 2016.
