GOES-T Centaur and Booster Arrival and Offload

United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) first and second stages of the Atlas V 541 rocket are offloaded from the company’s transport boat at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) in Florida on Nov. 16, 2021. The ship journeyed from ULA’s manufacturing plant in Decatur, Alabama, to deliver the rocket that will launch NASA and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite T (GOES-T). 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 from Space Launch Complex 41 at CCSFS on March 1, 2022. The launch is being managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy Space Center, America’s multi-user spaceport.
