Satisfies national operational environmental requirements for 24 hour observation
of weather, earth’s environment, and solar and space environment
GOES I-M (8-12)* series operational since 1994
GOES-N launch planned for 2006, GOES O & P being built
GOES-R series needed to replace the GOES-N series, expected launch no earlier
than 2012
Part of US contribution to Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS)
* Note:
satellites are labeled with letters on the ground and changed to numbers on-orbit

General Assumptions
• Satellite Constellation
– Geostationary Earth Orbit
– East Position– 75o W Longitude
– West Position– 135o W Longitude
– Central Position– 105o W Longitude– storage and contingency
operations
– Inclination– 0o +0.5o
• Mission Life:
– 7.5 years operational
– 7.5 years combined terrestrial and on-orbit storage– up to 5
years for either
• Mission Launch Readiness Date: No earlier than 2012

GOES-R Series Status
Improvements over current capabilities
•
Imager
GOES-R
– 5X improvement in geographic coverage
•
GOES-R series being developed to replace GOESrate
N series. First launch is no earlier than 2012
– 30 second repeats for severe weather
•
Significant improvement in technology over GOES-I
threats
and GOES-N series
– 4X improvement in horizontal resolution
•
New acquisition relationship builds on longstanding
– 3X increase in channels
partnership between NOAA and NASA
•
Sounder
– 5X improvement in geographic coverage
rate
– 4 minute repeats for severe weather
threats
– 3X improvements in vertical resolution
•
Lightning detection
– Continuous coverage of total lightning flash
rate over land and water
•
Coastal Water Monitoring
– 0.375 km true color vs 1 km monochrome
– Transition of ocean color research satellite
capability to operational platform
– First ever geostationary sampling of ocean
color allows coastal resource management

GOES-R Baseline Instruments to Meet
User Requirements
•
Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI)
– Monitors and tracks severe weather
– Images clouds to support forecasts
– Better resolution, faster coverage and more coverage simultaneously
•
Hyperspectral Environmental Suite (HES)
– Provides atmospheric moisture and temperature profiles to support
forecasts and climate monitoring
– Monitors coastal regions for ecosystem health, water quality, coastal
erosion, harmful algal blooms
– Better resolution, faster coverage, adds coastal water imagery
•
Solar Imaging Suite (SIS) and Space Environmental In-Situ Suite (SEISS)
– Images the sun and measures solar output to monitor solar storms (SIS)
• Better Imager (UV over X-Ray)
– Measures magnetic fields and charged particles (SEISS)
• Better Heavy Ion detection, adds low energy electrons and protons
– Enables early warnings for satellite and power grid operations, telecom
services, astronauts, and airlines
•
Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM)
– Detects lightning strikes as an indicator of severe storms
– Previous capability only existed on polar satellites
