The shipping container holding the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite T (GOES-T) is unloaded from a United States Air Force C-5 cargo plane following its arrival at the Launch and Landing Facility runway at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Nov. 10, 2021. From here, teams will transport the satellite to an Astrotech Space Operations facility in nearby Titusville for prelaunch processing. A collaboration between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, GOES-T is the third satellite in the GOES-R series that will continue to help meteorologists observe and predict local weather events that affect public safety. GOES-T is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on March 1, 2022. The launch is being managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy, America’s multi-user spaceport.
