KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Inside a high bay at Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, Fla., the GOES-N spacecraft is revealed after removal of the fairing to allow testing. GOES-N was demated from its Boeing Delta IV launch vehicle on Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The launch was postponed in August 2005 due to technical issues. Due to the extended length of time the spacecraft had been atop the Delta IV without launching, the weather satellite will undergo some precautionary retesting and state of health checks. GOES-N is the latest in a series of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites for NOAA and NASA providing continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - At Astrotech Space Operations payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla., workers begin detaching the fairing from around the GOES-N spacecraft. Workers will use the stand to begin detaching the fairing from around the spacecraft. The fairing protects the spacecraft during launch and flight through the atmosphere. Once out of the atmosphere, the fairing is jettisoned. Removing the fairing will allow workers access to the spacecraft.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - At the Delta Operations Center, Jack Reynolds and Leslie Guzman (left and right), with Pratt and Whitney, closely guide the nozzle for the RL-10 engine on the second stage of the Boeing Delta IV rocket. The Delta IV is the launch vehicle for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-N), scheduled to launch in April 2005 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. GOES-N is a weather satellite for NASA and NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The first in a series of three advanced weather satellites including GOES-O and GOES-P, the GOES-N will provide continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. It will provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric “triggers” of severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms and hurricanes. When these conditions develop, GOES-N will be able to monitor storm development and track their movements.
