00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:03,866
Narrator: NOAA is preparing for a satellite launch in 2024.

2
00:00:04,333 --> 00:00:08,866
GOES-U will be the fourth and final satellite in NOAA’s latest generation 

3
00:00:08,866 --> 00:00:12,333
of geostationary operational environmental satellites

4
00:00:12,333 --> 00:00:14,166
called the GOES-R Series.

5
00:00:14,533 --> 00:00:18,633
GOES-U, which will be renamed GOES-19 when it reaches orbit,

6
00:00:18,633 --> 00:00:22,900
will continue GOES East’s legacy of keeping watch over the contiguous

7
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:27,133
United States, Central and South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

8
00:00:27,566 --> 00:00:30,933
Like the three other GOES-R Series satellites already in orbit,

9
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:35,500
GOES-U will provide near real-time, high-resolution imagery that will

10
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:40,333
deliver critical information for weather forecasts, severe weather prediction,

11
00:00:40,333 --> 00:00:43,100
lightning detection, space weather

12
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:46,100
and tropical cyclones spinning in the Atlantic basin.

13
00:00:47,166 --> 00:00:50,033
GOES-U will carry something new when it launches.

14
00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:54,166
A critical space weather instrument called the Compact Coronagraph-1,

15
00:00:54,166 --> 00:00:55,866
or CCOR-1.

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,500
GOES-U will continue NOAA’s legacy to help scientists and forecasters

17
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:05,333
understand, monitor and predict our changing environment.

18
00:01:05,566 --> 00:01:06,933
From the oceans...

19
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:08,000
to outer space.
