00:00:03,303 --> 00:00:07,474
NOAA’s GOES-19, the fourth and final satellite in the GOES-R Series,

2
00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:12,412
officially entered service as GOES East on April 4, 2025.

3
00:00:13,079 --> 00:00:16,583
In its new role, GOES-19 is NOAA’s primary geostationary satellite for

4
00:00:16,583 --> 00:00:20,186
detecting and monitoring weather and environmental phenomena that

5
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:23,957
affects the contiguous United States,
driving short-term forecasts and warnings.

6
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:32,165
GOES-19 enters operational service after launching on June 25, 2024,

7
00:00:32,165 --> 00:00:36,903
and completing on-orbit testing of its instruments, systems and data.

8
00:00:38,471 --> 00:00:42,475
GOES-19 provides critical data for monitoring Atlantic hurricanes,

9
00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:46,880
severe storms, flooding, wildfires, volcanic eruptions,
and airborne hazards like smoke and dust.

10
00:00:48,782 --> 00:00:53,620
GOES-19 also watches the sun
and detects approaching space weather hazards.

11
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:56,556
It carries a brand-new instrument, the Compact Coronagraph-1,

12
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:58,758
or CCOR-1, NOAA’s first coronagraph.

13
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:02,862
CCOR-1 detects and characterizes coronal mass ejections and will be the

14
00:01:02,862 --> 00:01:06,733
primary source for information abotu impending geomagnetic storms,

15
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:10,804
which can impact satellites,
GPS, astronaut safety, aviation and power grids.

16
00:01:12,272 --> 00:01:16,676
GOES-19 joins its sister satellite, GOES-18 (GOES West), in orbit.

17
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:20,647
Together, GOES-18 and GOES-19 watch over more than half the globe,

18
00:01:20,647 --> 00:01:24,617
from the west coast of Africa to New Zealand and from the Arctic to Antarctic.

19
00:01:25,285 --> 00:01:29,956
Their data is critical for the National Weather Service,
including the Space Weather Prediction Center,

20
00:01:29,956 --> 00:01:34,861
as well as emergency managers, first responders, national security,
and the agriculture and shipping industries.

21
00:01:34,861 --> 00:01:38,064
As GOES-19 enters operational service, NOAA is also celebrating the

22
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:41,267
50th anniversary of the GOES program.

23
00:01:42,635 --> 00:01:46,072
Since 1975, NOAA and NASA have partnered to advance NOAA’s

24
00:01:46,072 --> 00:01:49,542
satellite observations from geostationary orbit.

25
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:54,681
With GOES-19 joining the fleet,
NOAA’s geostationary satellite constellation

26
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:58,451
is set to carry on this longstanding mission,
delivering life-saving data into the 2030s.
