About this work
The newest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-M (GOES-M) satellite is ready at Astrotech, in Titusville for the media to see the last in the current series of advanced geostationary weather satellites in service. GOES-M has a new instrument not on earlier spacecraft, a Solar X-ray Imager that can be used in forecasting space weather, the effects of solar storms that create electromagnetic disturbances on earth that affect other satellites, communications and power grids.
