Tune in to NASA TV, the NASA app, or the agency’s website, starting in about 10 minutes, for live broadcast coverage of today’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite mission. Liftoff, aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Launch Complex 41, is targeted …
Here is a look at some of the key milestones for today’s GOES-T launch: Mission Timeline (all times approximate) LAUNCH AND SPACECRAFT DEPLOYMENT Time Events 4:38 p.m. EST Launch target (two-hour window) 4:50:04 p.m. Main Engine Cutoff #1 (MECO1) 5:01:20 p.m. …
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite is the third satellite in the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) – R Series, the Western Hemisphere’s most sophisticated weather observing and environmental monitoring system. A part of the GOES-R series, GOES-T will be renamed GOES-18 once it reaches geostationary orbit, replacing …
Good afternoon, and welcome to live coverage of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite mission from Florida’s Space Coast! Standing tall atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket, GOES-T – a joint effort between NASA and NOAA – is set to lift off from Cape Canaveral …
A host of life science experiments is underway today as the Expedition 66 crew explores how living in space affects the human body. The International Space Station is also gearing up this month for a pair of spacewalks to upgrade its power systems. Skin, hearing, and mold were the main focus of today’s biology research …
Weather officials with Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron continue to predict an 80% chance of favorable weather conditions for this afternoon’s launch of NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite, which is part of the GOES Satellite Network. The cumulus cloud rule and liftoff winds serve as the primary weather concerns. GOES-T is scheduled …

By Jim Cawley NASA’s Kennedy Space Center The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite, a joint effort between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is out at the launch pad and ready for its ride into space. On Monday, Feb. 28, 2022, GOES-T rolled out from United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Vertical Integration …
Payloads: Astrobatics: Astrobatics Skins hardware was installed onto the Astrobee and the crew assisted the ground team in performing science runs. Astrobee Maneuvering by Robotic Manipulator Hopping (Astrobatics) demonstrates the Astrobee robotic vehicles using robotic manipulators to execute a hopping or self-toss maneuver as the primary mean of propulsion, making it mostly propellantless. Astrobee performs …
The Expedition 66 crew kicked off the week working on robotics, spacesuits, and advanced research equipment. The International Space Station is also orbiting higher to get ready for a crew swap at the end of March. Flight Engineers Raja Chari of NASA and Matthias Maurer of ESA (European Space Agency) started Monday collecting their blood …
