This interview with Tim Dunn, Senior Launch Director, NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP), who was serving as NASA's Assistant Launch Manager for the launch of NOAA's GOES-U (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite U) concluded the launch broadcast to last the fourth and final satellite in the GOES-R series of advanced weather satellites.
Like the previous satellites in the GOES-R series, GOES-U will provide fast, accurate data for tracking severe storms, tropical systems, destructive wildfires (and the smoke they emit), floods, lightning, snow storms, dense fog and other hazards that threaten the U.S. GOES-U will work in sync with GOES-18, which is perched in the GOES-West position, to observe more than half the globe - from the west coast of Africa to New Zealand, and from Alaska to Antarctica.
