GOES-S Spacecraft Transport from Astrotech to Pad 41

NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-S (GOES-S) is secured in its payload fairing inside the high bay at Astrotech Space Operations facility in Titusville, Florida. GOES-S will be transported to the United Launch Alliance (ULA) Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The payload fairing will be lifted and mated to the ULA Atlas V rocket. GOES-S is the second in a series of four advanced geostationary weather satellites. GOES-S is slated to launch aboard the ULA Atlas V on March 1.
