NASA invites the public to participate in virtual activities and events leading up to the launch of the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) GOES-U (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-U) mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n
NASA is targeting a two-hour window opening at 5:16 p.m. EDT Tuesday, June 25, for the launch of the weather satellite aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at the agency\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Live launch coverage will begin at 4:15 p.m. and will air on NASA+, the agency\u2019s website, and other digital channels. Learn how to stream NASA TV through a variety of platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As the fourth and final satellite in NOAA\u2019s GOES-R Series, GOES-U will enhance meteorologists\u2019 ability to provide advanced weather forecasting and warning capabilities. GOES-U also will improve the detection and monitoring of space weather hazards using a new compact coronagraph instrument.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Members of the public can register to attend the launch virtually. As a virtual guest, you will have access to curated resources, schedule changes, and mission-specific information delivered straight to your inbox. Following each activity, virtual guests will receive a commemorative stamp for their virtual guest passport.\u00a0<\/p>\n
