Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Ever since GOES-1 beamed down its first image from space in 1975, we know this for sure:“GOES knows weather”. Not only does this squad of satellites forecast weather, but they have also been an instrumental piece in understanding our env...

The value to society of satellite meteorology is immense. In terms of lives saved and infrastructure damage that's avoided, the returns on investment run into billions annually. 卫星气象学的社会价值是巨大的。就卫星气象学挽救的生命和因其免遭破坏的基础设施而言,每年相关投资的回报可达数十亿美元。 Eur...
There are two satellite perspectives used by the overall GOES mission. GOES East is located at 75° W longitude (above the east coast of the United States) and GOES West at 137° W longitude (over the eastern Pacific Ocean). Two satellites operate at each position, ...
Thank you to a few users who have submitted links tou/ThePhotoChemist's Reddit post showing hise-ink display for his live GOES-16 weather satellite images. The post doesn't go into much detail about the setup, however it seems that he is using a Raspberry Pi, and displaying the images ...
GOES-R is the most advanced high-altitude weather satellite ever built, featuring a high-speed multi-spectral camera, a first-of-its-kind lightning mapper and a suite of space weather sensors that represent a “quantum leap” for forecasters, officials say, one that will help save lives and...
And when GOES-U launches on June 25 atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, it will complete NOAA's GOES-R weather satellite constellation, adding to the capabilities of its siblings and bringing a bigger focus on space weather. NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) are no...
EarthCARE is the most complex Earth Explorer mission in the European Space Agency’s (ESA) FutureEO programme. This new satellite mission will quantify and reduce the uncertainty about the role that clouds and aerosols (tiny atmospheric particles) play in heating and cooling Earth’s atmosphere, ...
Europe's new weather satellite goes into orbit 欧洲新气象卫星进入轨道 Play audio file (本节目所用的音频资源发表于2022年12月中旬。) 近日,一颗重要的欧洲卫星已被送入预定轨道。气象卫星 “Meteosat-12” 搭乘阿丽亚娜火箭从法属圭亚那的库鲁航天发射中心起飞,开启了天气预报的新时代。
Later this year, after undergoing a full checkout and validation of its six high-tech instruments, the new satellite will move to the GOES-West position and become operational. From there, it constantly will provide advanced imagery and atmospheric measurements, real-time mapping of lightning ...
