NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-U (GOES-U) mission graphic is displayed on the historic countdown clock at Kennedy Space Center’s NASA News Center in Florida on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024. GOES-U is the fourth and final satellite in NOAA's GOES-R series of advanced geostationary weather satellites. Data from the GOES satellite constellation – consisting of the GOES-R, GOES-S, GOES-T and GOES-U spacecraft – enables forecasters to predict, observe, and track local weather events that affect public safety like thunderstorms, hurricanes, and wildfires.
