NASA provided live coverage the launch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) GOES-U (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite U) mission. GOES-U, the final addition to GOES-R series, will help us prepare for two kinds of weather — Earth and space weather. GOES satellites serve a critical role in providing continuous coverage of the Western Hemisphere, including monitoring tropical systems in the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This continuous monitoring aids scientists and forecasters in issuing timely warnings and forecasts, to help protect the one billion people who live and work in the Americas.
