3GOES-13
- GOES-13 launched 24 May 2006, currently in on
orbit standby - GOES-13/O/P have similar instruments to
GOES-8-12, but are on a different spacecraft bus.
The new bus allows improvements to the
navigation, registration, and the radiometrics. - Contains Solar EUVS, SXI, expanded range of
proton and electron measurements - Spring and fall eclipse outages will be avoided
by onboard batteries. - Results of GOES-13 science test (Dec 7-28 2006)
can be found in GOES-13 Tech Report at

- To better prepare for the GVAR changes, plans
call for sample GOES-O GVAR data (from thermal
vacuum testing) to be posted. - Launch date planned for late 2008

8GOES-R Summary
- Improvements over current capabilities
- Imager (ABI)
- Better resolution (4X), faster coverage (5X),
more bands (3.2X) and more coverage
simultaneously - Lightning detection (GLM)
- Continuous coverage of total lightning flash rate
over land and water - Solar/Space Monitoring (SUVI, EXIS, SEISS)
- Better Imager (UV over X-Ray)
- Better Heavy Ion detection, adds low energy
electrons and protons - Unique Payload Services
- Higher Data Rates for Environmental Data Relay
- Continued Search and Rescue
- GOES-R
- GOES-R series being developed to replace GOES-N
series. - First launch planned no earlier than 2014
- Significant improvement in technology over GOES-I
and GOES-N series
- Current Improvements of GOES-13
- Improved Radiometrics
- Improved Navigation
- Operates through Eclipse

Division
The Geostationary Satellite Server (
http//www.goes.noaa.gov ) Real time satellite
data over large regions. Viewing global or
synoptic scale events using visible, infrared,
and water vapor images and loops.
Specialized imagery and synoptic scale viewing of
events on the Satellite Services Division (
http//www.ssd.noaa.gov ) web pages. Derived
products for hazard monitoring (fire, volcano,
tropical, heavy precipitation)
Operational Significant Events Imagery (
http//www.osei.noaa.gov ) High resolution,
manually generated, high quality false color
images for media and presentations.

23Summary
The great amount of information from the GOES-R
will offer a continuation of current products
(precipitation, atmospheric motion vectors, SST,
radiances, hurricane intensity, atmospheric
retrievals, solar/space monitoring, etc) and new
products. The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI),
along with the GLM on GOES-R series satellites
will enable much improved monitoring of Earth
compared to current capabilities. The space and
solar instruments will improve monitoring of the
near-Earth and Solar environments.
