10yrs (bus )
- Slide 6
- 6 GOES-13, 14 and 15 GOES-13/14/15 have similar instruments to
GOES-8- 12, but on a different spacecraft bus. Spring and fall
eclipse outages will be avoided by larger onboard batteries.
Improved navigation Improved radiometrics GOES-11/12

- GOES Services GOES Variable Format Data (GVAR) Transmits full
resolution Imager and Sounder meteorological data to western
hemisphere Includes telemetry, calibration data, text messages,
spacecraft navigation data
- Slide 8
- 8 GOES Services Emergency Managers Weather Information Network
(EMWIN): Specialized instruments on NOAA satellites relay critical
information to users across the country. Emergency Managers can
obtain weather information in near real time from a variety of
sources, including the National Weather Service. Low Resolution
Image Transmission (LRIT): NOAA satellites are used to relay
satellite and weather products. These products are broadcast via a
radio signal that can be received by users in remote locations,
that do not have landlines or internet connections.
- Slide 9
- GOES Services Data Collection System Provides near real-time
relay of information from over 19,000 data collection platforms
located in remote areas Platforms consist of oceanographic buoys,
balloons, and weather stations Used to collect data on seismic
events, ocean currents, tsunami detection, forest fires, river flow
rate, and floods.
- Slide 10
- GOES Services Search and Rescue: NOAA satellites are used to
relay distress alerts from aviators, mariners and land-based users
Approximately 250 persons are rescued in the United States annually
Partnership between NASA, NOAA, USAF and USCG 38 countries
participate in program internationally

- GOES Services Space Environment Monitoring X-Ray Sensor (XRS):
provides primary measure of solar x-ray flux and flare magnitude
Extreme Ultra-Violet Sensor (EUV) measures solar extreme
ultra-violet flux, which is primary energy input to the upper
atmosphere and ionosphere Energetic Particle Sensor (EPS) and High
Energy Proton and Alpha Particle Detector (HEPAD) detect energetic
electron and protons Magnetometer measures Earths magnetic field
components Solar X-Ray Imager (SXI) Monitors solar disk activity,
including solar flares, coronal holes, and coronal mass ejections.
Data is used to issue space weather forecasts and alerts

- GOES STRAY LIGHT CORRECTION GOES-13/14/15 imagers and sounders
are capable of scanning the sun without health and safety issues.
Intolerable Sun intrusion causes NOAA to cancel images within 6 o
of sun, equivalent to 6 days of imaging. NOAA and ITT Industries
have characterized the effect of the Sun intrusion and developed a
ground correction algorithm to claim >95% of lost images and
improve images up to 20 o of the Sun. The ground system algorithm
consists of two parts: Subtracting the known amount of stray light
from the signal outside 6. Using the longer wavelength signal in
combination with 3.9-um signal to estimate a truer 3.9-um signal in
areas where the sun is within 6 of the pixel and the stray light
effect is overwhelming. Corrected 3.9um Image Please visit poster

- GOES-West Transition GOES-West Transition to occur December
2011 PLAN: GOES-14 will replace GOES-11 GOES-14 taken out of
storage before fall eclipse season for yearly inclination maneuver

- Improved spatial resolution of GOES-15 Imager band 6 The 13.3
um band 6 of the GOES-13 (top panel) has an 8 km IGFOV
(Instantaneous Geometric Field of View); while the same band on the
GOES-15 (lower panel) has a 4 km IGFOV. Note the finer resolution
of the cloud edges and the cleaner image. 23
