BioHi- we're the Geostationary Weather Satellites!
Info page updated 6/10/06!
There are 3 of us and since we're all linked we'll be sharing this journal. We want to make sure that, just like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, you get full coverage!
We also have one "inactive" sibling, 11 (launched 5/3/00, also a Taurus) and a new little brother! GOES-N (aka GOES-13) was just launched on 5/24/2006 (another Gemini). Our friend Meteosat-8 sometimes joins in on the fun as well. You can email him at meteosat8 @ gmail . com

- GOES-12 (aka GOES-EAST)- I'm 12 and let me tell you there is always a whole lot going on here. I monitor primarily the Eastern US and Atlantic ocean. Click here to see my schedule. My busy season is over the summer as *I* am the satellite that tracks all the important hurricane action in the Atlantic ocean.
Launch date: 7/21/01 (I'm a Cancer!) - GOES-10 (aka GOES-WEST)- 12 thinks she's all that because she tracks SOME hurricanes. Big deal- I've got Hawaii and California. My weather may be nicer but that just leaves me more time to do other things. (Did I mention 12 is full of herself?) Click here for my sched. Also, I <3 <3 <3 my boyfriend fuse_sat 4 EVAR!1111oneoneone
Launch date: 4/25/97 (I'm a Taurus!) - GOES-9 (aka GOES-PACIFIC)- Unfortunately my schedule is fairly boring as I just hover over the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. I am the main satellite involved in hurricane tracking for the Pacific- and I'm also used to monitor volcanic and tsunami action. As the oldest, I also look after the other satellites.
Launch date: 5/23/95 (I'm a Gemini!)
