GOES-T Spacecraft Move to Encapsulation Bay

In preparation for NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) to be encapsulated, members of the GOES-T team prepare the area within the Astrotech Space Operations facility in Titusville, Florida on Jan. 28, 2022. GOES-T is scheduled to launch on March 1, 2022, atop a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 541 rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. 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. The launch is being managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, America’s multi-user spaceport.
