NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-S (GOES-S) arrives onboard a U.S. Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy cargo aircraft at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The satellite is offloaded and transported to the Astrotech Space Operations facility in Titusville, Florida to prepare it for launch. GOES-S is the second in a series of our four advanced geostationary weather satellites. The GOES-R series - consisting of the GOES-R, GOES=S, GOES-T and GOES-U spacecraft - will significantly improve the detection and observation of environmental phenomena that directly affect public safety, protection of property and the nation's economic health and prosperity. GOES-S is stated to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
